PLOT

Programming Language for Old Timers (PLOT) is a new dialect of Lisp designed by Dave Moon in February 2006, and thoroughly revised and simplified November 2007 and March 2008. I have been developing PLOT as a hobby, with the idea of for once having a programming language which does everything the right way. You know it is right when both simplicity and power are maximized, while at the same time confusion and the need for kludges are minimized.
How can this be a dialect of Lisp, you say, if it does not have S-Expressions, does not have NIL, does not have conses, does not have atoms, and does not have a simple parenthesized Polish prefix syntax?
Hmmm.

[23:56]    <cpst>    PLOT is the next big Lisp
[23:56]    <brownegg_>    PLOT is pretty much awesome, from what i can tell
...
[23:58]    <littledan>    brownegg: do you see a link to downloading PLOT?
[23:58]    <littledan>    I just saw docs
[23:58]    <brownegg>    hm i think i just saw a writeup linked on hacker news
...
[23:59]    <littledan>    it has some pretty cool ideas
[00:00]    <doublec>    PLOT seems to be a reinvention of dylan
[00:00]    <dmpk2k>    I agree, although I think it's becoming a kitchen sink of concurrency primitves. :|
[00:01]    <dmpk2k>    The PLOT page is pretty long. Is it worth reading?
[00:01]    <littledan>    doublec: wasn't the guy who made PLOT one of the people involved with Dylan?
[00:03]    <doublec>    yes
[00:03]    <brownegg>    most would consider that a good thing, i think
[00:03]    <doublec>    dmpk2k, only if you don't mind reading language descriptions without having an implementation to play with
[00:04]    <slava>    and you know if they ever make an implementation it will be useless because it won't have any libraries

Use naming conventions in place of Common Lisp's multiple name-binding spaces for functions, variables, types, and packages.

I don't know about this....

It has FIOC.  Do not want.

PLOT IS THE NEW ARC (oh you don't remember arc?)

I remember CROMA.

Of course you do, [b]Patrick Collision[b].

^{Give us the source code you ginger fuck}

[B]ack to [b], please
