Why aren't there any macros in ulisp?
Hello :D
This is a very interesting project, but why aren't there defmacro
s? Is it impossible to implement or you just delayed it for later :)
I tried making it without editing c++ source code but didn't have much success
Thanks for reading :D
Sorry for the delay in replying. I had to leave out quite a lot from Common Lisp in order to fit Lisp on the target platforms I had in mind, and I felt that macros were less important than some other features for typical applications.
Is there a particular application you have that would need macros?
It's actually the tiniest implementation which has the most of common lisp :D I haven't used it yet so I don't know if i will miss macros or not :)
Thanks for the reply
