    Gerbil Scheme

  • lumen

    A Lisp for Lua and JavaScript (by sctb)

  • I agree! That’s actually not a jeer, it’s one of my main criticisms of lisp. You don’t need lists to have lisp. In many respects it works better without them; https://github.com/sctb/lumen proves it, since hash tables and arrays are the fundamental data structure. They have to be, because that’s the only way lumen can run in JS or Lua.

    Every time I can’t delete the first element of a list in lisp (I.e. del x[0] in the python sense) I get annoyed with racket.

    The reason I look past it is because the benefits are so good that they outweigh the annoyances. I wouldn’t trade it away.
