Lisp-in-Charm VS Charm-MacOS

This explanation of how to do it in Python is useful. I used it as a model for doing a Lisp in Charm, though there are differences of detail in the implementation.

I linked to an example of Lisp implemented in Charm. (Compare to Peter Norvig's Lisp implemented in Python, which goes about it a slightly different way but implements the exact same features.)

Here's my own Lisp, in my language. I wonder how many of us have done this.

Then to celebrate I used the strings library to make my implementation of Lisp in Charm shorter: it weighs in at 123 sloc now I don't have to roll my own string functions.

I have dogfooded it by usng it to implement other languages, a Forth, a Z80 emulator, and most recently a Lisp, to prove that it has chops as a GPL.

More dogfooding! Having done all that work to make Charm more useable, I wanted to use some darn Charm. It's pretty nice to code in now, this was not hard to do. Here's the listing.

There's source code here, a Mac executable with auxiliary files here, and there's a manual here which also has notes in pink to explain the reasoning behind my choices. If you like the project, please add a star to the source code repo. Thanks!

There is a manual here with extensive notes (in pink) for langdevs. The source code is here and Mac OS object code can be found here.

Source code; Mac OS object code; manual.

So, here's the source code, and here's the Mac executable plus resource files. Both come with lots of example code and a manual in .pdf form with extensive notes for langdevs. The description of the bells and whistles of the REPL are near the end of the manual, in the section titled "The hub".

Here's the source code etc, here's a compiled Mac OS version, and here's a manual with extensive notes for other langdevs about what I'm trying to do.

See my shiny newish language paradigm! Or, alternatively, come and stare at the crazy guy trying to put the fun into functional! (Mac executable, manual in .pdf form and demo code here, source code etc here. Or if you just want to read about it without getting your hands dirty, here’s a version of the manual with extensive notes for langdevs.)
