ArrowLISP is an interpreter for a purely symbolic,
side effect-free, lexically scoped dialect of LISP.
It may be considered an implementation of pure LISP
plus global definitions.

- re-wrote the T3X part of the interpreter in C - re-wrote the reference manual - added AND and OR primitives - added RECURSIVE-BIND primitive - added DEFINED primitive - replaced meta commands with functions, ie :L FILE.L became (LOAD FILE) - replaced (DEFUN f(x) ...) with (DEFINE (f x) ...) - replaced LABEL with LET and LETREC - replaced T and F (true/false) with T and () - dropped CALL/CC - renamed math functions: plus/iplus/rplus -> N+, I+, R+, + times/itimes/rtimes -> N, I, R, difference/idifference/rdifference -> N-, I-, R-, - rquotient -> / - added default workspace image (no need to install a local copy of the library functions any longer) - temporarily removed most example programs PR: ports/98483 Submitted by: Nils M Holm <nmh@t3x.org> Reviewed by: aaron Approved by: tobez 2006-06-14 04:36:58 +02:00			`ArrowLISP is an interpreter for a purely symbolic,`

New port: ArrowLISP - purely symbolic LISP interpreter and IDE ArrowLISP is a small, properly tail-recursive, dynamically scoped interpreter for a purely symbolic and almost side-effect-free dialect of LISP. It may be considered an implementation of pure LISP. The interpreter has both a command line interface and an editor-like full screen interface.
