What Hacker News says?

   Don't take anything Dijkstra says personally. I don't think he's ever said anything positive about any language, except perhaps Lisp, and even then it was just a 'this isn't horrible' more than a positive. Wish I could find that quote. EDIT: Found it - http://kazimirmajorinc.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-dijkstra-bl...

   Newlisp is my favorite Lisp dialect. Before that I used Scheme and before that, CL. I prefer Newlisp because combination of dynamic scope and fexprs is conceptually simpler and more expressive than combination of lexical scope and macros. If reader doesn't believe me, he can check what Thomas Lord wrote on Lambda the Ultimate site, http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3640 He really understood fexprs well. Or John Sh…

   Closures are the functions with "private" data preserving values between two calls of the same function. It is not impossible with dynamic scope - but problem is again accidental name clash. As it is the same problem as with macros - I guess it can be solved on similar way - using functions with generated unusual and unique names of variables. On the other side, with dynamic scope, functions are as expressive (or al…

   There are few ways out of that: 1. use of "contexts" i.e. Newlisp namespaces 2. use of same approach as in CL or Scheme macros. In CL it is automatic generation of unusual names, gensyms, in Scheme it is even more automatic "hygiene". Both of these approaches are available in Newlisp as well. One can check my blog post at: http://kazimirmajorinc.blogspot.com/2009/12/symbols-as-sexpr... It is not simple reading if on…

   I had trouble figuring out if they were joking with each other or being serious. Regardless, I must say that they both have a quite peculiar style of writing, and it was cool to see the human side of two people that I've studied so much. The previous post referenced at the top ( http://kazimirmajorinc.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-dijkstra-bl... ) also has a lot of great material.

    You can check my blog. There is a lot of code=data manipulation there. For example, this one: http://kazimirmajorinc.blogspot.com/2009/12/symbols-as-sexpr... This post describes implementation of hygienic (even recursive hygienic) fexprs in Newlisp.
