NewLISP combines parts of the strength and elegance of traditional LISP with the features of a contemporary scripting language, such as regular expressions, network functions, Unicode support, multitasking, and many others.
You'll find newLISP to be both simple to learn and powerful. This book provides a clear and concise explanation of the language's fundamentals.
A Windows DLL (dynamic link library) called newLISP.dll has been created from the newLISP compiler. You can utilize newLISP in your VisualNeo Win GUI application builder thanks to a free VisualNeo Win plugin created by Hans Peter Wickern.
- shorter and more efficient code, e.g. by combining functions in one command
- in many cases, faster performance, e.g. in the case of nested loops
- more than 350 built functions
- functions can be combined in one command
- great use of regular expressions
- VisualNeo applications with newLISP run fine and fast under Wine/Linux (in contrast to VBScript, which often crashes)
- newLISP is very well tested, so bugs will be rare.
