gsp

There are a number of Lisp interpreters written in Go [0-3]. There is a Lua interpreter [4]. The only compiled language I know is Gisp [5] by jcla1. I also built on top of Gisp with Gsp [6] to provide wrappers to the Go stdlib and support more standard lisp functionality. However, Kashimir is the first statically typed language implemented in Go that I have seen. The rest are dynamically typed.

It may be a naive quesiton, but what does "prelude" mean in this context? I get that I can use this to emit go code from gisp, and compile that. But the example under the heading "using the prelude" doesn't really tell me anything. Looking at the code, it appears to define a lot of basic lisp stuff -- but without all that, how does gsp work in the first place? Is it simply the difference of wrapping things up so that they... work?: diff <(gsp hello.gsp) <(gisp hello.gsp) 4,7c4,5 < "github.com/gsp-lang/stdlib/fmt" < "github.com/gsp-lang/gsp/core" < "github.com/gsp-lang/stdlib/prelude" < "github.com/gsp-lang/stdlib/net/http" --- > "/fmt" > "/net/http" 18,19d15 < < var _ = prelude.Len As far as I can tell, gisp doesn't produce go code that can be compiled.
