[Pils] is an anagram of [Lisp]. It is a tiny lisp, hacked in four days or maybe five, and has never been seriously tested. I've made it as Tcl-ish as possible. '''Differences to Tcl''' * Tcl has 1 (one) data type: the string, Pils has 2 (two) data types: the atom and the list. * The procedure ''string'' has the new sub command ''append''. (Btw, by formal reasons, it would be nice to see it also in regular Tcl. I think that it is not really ''expensive''!) '''Differences to Lisp''' * The list is not cons'd but instead a simple Tcl list. (This idea is stolen from NewLisp [http://newlisp.org/]). * No cons, car, cdr, instead [lindex] etc. No define but instead [proc]. (*1) * No symbols as every atom can serve as such by saying ''(set varName)'' or using the shortcut ''$varName''. (I told you. As Tcl-ish as possible.) '''Differences to the state of should-be''' * for and foreach not yet implemented * many many ... hrmpf ... bux? ---- (*1) [RS]: When you're in the process of making a Lisp-like language, I think the unification in [Scheme] (define var 'value) (define {function x y) (+ x y)) is a good idea (and can of course easily be had in Tcl, see the [Scheme] page). The only trouble is that argument-less functions can not be expressed this way...
