Distributed LISP is a new scripting language inspired by Lisp (a minimal, fast Lisp interpreter).
If you have ever written an installation script for the Commodore Installer and its Lisp-like language, you know how Lisp programs look like: a lot of parantheses but, on the bright side, no semicolons
Features: implemented as library (ie can be flushed if not needed), fast bytecode compiler, cache for tokenized code. The language is Rexx-enabled so that Lisp programs can be used for automation of other applications. A script written in Distributed LISP is two to three times faster than the same script written in Rexx, on 68k platforms. Web site and download:
