Lisp in 99 lines of C for the Sharp PC-G850

[engelen]

I wrote a Lisp interpreter for the Sharp PC-G850(V)(S) in 99 lines of C with an article explaining the inner workings of Lisp in detail:

tinylisp on GitHub

The C program compiles and runs on the PC-G850(V)(S) itself:



Might be a fun way to learn Lisp

I learned Lisp at college. I hated it even if was ranked first at the exam.

Appreciation for Lisp grows over time

Lisp is interesting once you write an interpreter for it or studied the internals in its simplest, purest form. That's what this little project is about.

Otherwise, Lisp is just awkward syntax!

Hi,

I saw your thread 2 days ago on the hpmuseum forum (I'm not registered). That's great!

I'd like a LISP for RPL (hp-50g) to play with.
RPL an other weird language… or not.

Hello Robert !
This is wonderful !!
Reading your document at the moment, and will try on the real metal.
Would you allow me to port it to the TI-89 (not knowing if it is feasible) ?
It would display a copyright notice as appropriate, no commercial purpose, and I would send you the resulting code.
Your work "begs" to be ported to all kind of machines, an additional language is always lots of fun.
Congratulations on this "tour de force".
G.E.

Hi G.E.
Thanks for the comments!
Sure, you can rewrite it and port the C code in any way you want. You have my permission.
Please post back on your progress. Happy to help if needed.
