Mark Jason Dominus also says the same thing about Perl in his Higher Order Perl book [1][2] and goes onto show that Perl has 6 of the 7 features that Norvig describes has making Lisp different [3]. [1] http://hop.perl.plover.co

Perl6 & Rebol are some other examples of dynamic languages which come with optional typing . NB. And I believe Perl6 in certain cases will/can raise compile-time type errors.

There are plenty of iterator/generator libraries on CPAN. My personal favourite is Coro::Generator - https://metacpan.org/module/Coro::Generator Re: Underscore... there is a Perl port - http://vti.gith

Late reply here because I just tried submitting this link myself :) What got me interested was how another language which used consistent data structure for its syntax would look here in comparison. So here is my stab at it using Rebol...

It's a shame Carl Sassenrath's MakeDoc didn't catch on (outside of the Rebol world at least). NB. MakeDoc was already 4 years old when Markdown was born . ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MakeDoc

Have a look at Rebol parse dialect for an alternative mind blowing way of doing things! Here's is OP example ported to parse : ; build some sub rules r: context [ domain: charset [#"a" - #"z" #"-

Some languages provide alternatives to Regexes. For eg. Rebol uses a parse dialect instead - http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-15.html Here is the articles example converted to Rebol's parse dia

Yes I thought that maybe the case but covered both bases because that CPAN module is multi-lingual.

I've been on holiday since I left my last reply so also getting back late on this :) Everything in Rebol is just blocks of words , where (in general) expressions are evaluated from left to right; however, within each expression eval

>The serious question I would have about non-s-expressions language is - while they might be homoiconic by whatever definition, what makes them easy to parse? Rebol is very easy to parse. Here is a Rebol parser in 10 lines of Rebol:

by draegtun 13y ago
I know what you mean. In my examples I think only Perl6 is stretching the definition of homoiconicity, NB. are Perl6 Grammars == data structure/primitive ?? However Rebol (blocks & words) & Io/Smalltalk (objects and mess

by draegtun 13y ago
Rebol, Io, Smalltalk & Perl6 are also examples of non s-expression homoiconic languages.

And another option is PDL - http://pdl.perl.org NB. And I believe Perl6 (spec) includes PDL - http://perlcabal.org/syn/S09.html#PDL_support

re: Perl - You're probably thinking of $_ , which most Perl programmers call it . However this only gets topicalised in bare for & while but not if . So you could do... for (something_exists) { do_something_to($_);
