nu

On GitHub: https://github.com/timburks/nu The readme there gives also a better introduction to the goals and design decisions of the language. Basic design: * Lisp-like. * Native calls are directly possible from within the language, so you can easily call C code. * Uses the ObjC runtime. Example of a Cocoa application: https://github.com/timburks/nu/blob/master/examples/RandomAp...

> ps2: How cool would it be to have a REPL console like the one in RubyMotion on the Xcode console? You can! Every time it comes up, I'm going to repeat this suggestion: Use Nu[1] as a REPL for iOS[2] and OS X[3]. [1] http://programming.nu [2] http://groups.google.com/group/programming-nu/browse_thread/... [3] https://github.com/timburks/nu/blob/master/nu/console.nu

> Maybe someone should take Squeak/Pharo Smalltalk and create a utility that can be used as a REPL working with the iOS simulator. I'm gonna keep pimping it here on HN: Use Nu[1] as a REPL for iOS[2] and OS X[3]. I do all the time. [1] http://programming.nu [2] http://groups.google.com/group/programming-nu/browse_thread/... [3] https://github.com/timburks/nu/blob/master/nu/console.nu

If you're interested in developing OS X applications with a lisp, you should check out Nu — http://programming.nu — It's a Cocoa-native language built on the Objective-C runtime, that's flavored somewhat like Common Lisp. Additional info: ● A talk by the gentleman who created Nu, Tim Burks, talking about why he did so: http://www.viddler.com/explore/rentzsch/videos/13 ● The Google Group for Nu: http://groups.google.com/group/programming-nu ● The source (Apache License) on Github: https://github.com/timburks/nu

For people who want to try Nu, I haven't had much luck compiling 0.4. You probably want to try getting it from Github: https://github.com/timburks/nu.git
