    l2l: Lisp Is Lisp. Lua Is Lua. Lisp and Lua as One

  2. Well I use a parser combinator to build the Lua parser here. https://github.com/meric/l2l/blob/master/l2l/lua.lua#L429 The parser generated is recursive descent.

  3. …collapsing, and function inlining using AST analysis. It makes the code go really fast in LuaJIT. https://github.com/meric/l2l/#zero-cost That kind of abstraction can be written as an extension module and imported as easily in the language…

  6. The syntax is very simple. I wrote a hybrid lua/lisp language with it https://github.com/meric/l2l , where Lua expressions can be quoted and quasi-quoted seamlessly. Excuse me for the plug. :)

  7. How would I make this project more friendly to newcomers? http://github.com/meric/l2l Is it a matter of documentation?

  8. L2L ( http://github.com/meric/l2l ) A new programming language that is a superset of Lua and Lisp. You can write code in Lua or Lisp syntax and quasiquote/unquote both Lua and Lisp expressions. The presentation of the project is minimal…

  9. …It's very new and I would like some comments on how to make it easier to use. You can check out http://github.com/meric/l2l , which is a hybrid lisp and lua programming language that relies on the parser combinator library. (See the…

  10. …a module that can be imported as a (+...) macro that expands into Lua `a + b + c + ...` expression. https://github.com/meric/l2l/blob/rewrite/l2l/macro/arithmet... The idea is programmers will write in Lua whenever readability is…

  11. …See the `left(..)` call in `prefixexp` that tells the parser generator about the left recursion. https://github.com/meric/l2l/blob/parser-generator/l2l/lua.l... [2] https://github.com/meric/l2l/blob/parser-generator/l2l/gramm...

  15. Plug https://github.com/meric/l2l "A object-oriented, unicode-enabled lisp that compiles to and runs as fast as Lua. Equipped with macros and compile-time compiler manipulation. Comes with all built-in Lua functions."

  16. plug Once upon a time I wrote a lisp to lua compiler in 100 lines. https://github.com/meric/l2l/commit/a530f0133e002c3981937d21... It's now over a thousand. https://github.com/meric/l2l/
