Announcing Smilisp, a new dialect of Lisp

Hello,

I'm pleased to announce the first public release of :o( Smilisp :-), a
new Lisp dialect.

:o( Smilisp :-) features a new and very special paradigm called
"Emotional Programming". :o( Smilisp :-) is free software. The
distribution comes with a full implementation of the language in
portable Common Lisp, a complete documentation, a demonstration program
(:o( Smilisp :-) written in itself), and an Emacs library for "Emotional
Fontification" of :o( Smilisp :-) code.

We are confident that :o( Smilisp :-) is a major step towards the
modernization of Lisp, notably by solving the parenthesis problem, and
replacing S-Expressions with E-Expressions. We are also confident that
emotional programming will become the standard programming paradigm in
the future, and that :o( Smilisp :-) greatly contributes to pioneering
this idea.


Get :o( Smilisp :-) at http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier/software/smilisp.php

Enjoy :o( Smilisp :-) programming !

I think your announcement arrived here (west coast, USA) one day early.

I would like to see some seriously new programming paradigms.

"Smile, Darn Ya, Smile" :)

Excellent! Another fine language in my toolset. Far more fun than
Python and Ruby too. :)

Sorry, but I don't like it.

We could have had sooo much fun at the end of each function, but you
deliberately killed it!!

Two questions:

1. Assuming that this is not an April Fool's joke, what is special
about Emotional Programming?

2. How do you pronounce the ":o( " and " :-)" in ":o( Smilisp :-)?"

Wait a sec ... on second thought, maybe this IS an April Fool's joke!?

Yes, a funny one. Very good.

Now we can all express our emotions while programming in CL.

Yep ... looks like just an April Fool's joke. Mostly, this "language"
is just about rewriting parentheses as smiley faces.

I've heard of context-free languages, but this probably qualifies as a
first content-free one. :o( :-)

Sorry about this observation, but I can't help but note that there
is a likely connection between:

- Falling for an April Fool's posting.

- Using newLISP.

Think about it.

Sorry about this observation, but I can't help but note that there is
a likely connection between:

- Making fun of people using newLISP.

- Lacking social etiquette.

Think about it.
