No problem! Here are some more resources on it you might find useful: http://www.newlisp.org/index.cgi?Documentation http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/CodePatterns.html http://www.taoeffect.com/blog/2010/01/how-newlisp-took-my-breath-and-syntax-away/ Also, I recommend using the latest development version as there are some fairly significant changes between it and the stable one. The documentation is updated for the dev versions and I've never had any real stability issues with them. http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/development/ The community is located here: http://newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/ - Greg On Feb 5, 2010, at 10:21 AM, e wrote: > > > On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 12:56 AM, Greg <g...@kinostudios.com> wrote: > A much easier solution is to go with a lisp designed for exactly the task of > scripting. > > > Woah!
