What is newLISP on Noodles?

Advocacy

newLISP on Noodles is devoted to newLISP advocacy in several broad areas.

1. By providing a wiki-style forum for discussion of newLISP topics and assistance to users of all levels. The Quizzes section in particular is designed to expose users to how others program using newLISP. Also included is the newLISP Ideas section, a forum for discussing functionality users would like to see included in official releases of newLISP.
2. By providing code examples that address some of the varied problems we've had to solve as newLISP developers. These are typically short and can be copied and modified easily. See Code Snippets and Tips and tricks. Contributions here are largely unmoderated with the exception of a few obvious guidelines such as code comments and examples.
3. By providing thematically unified source files that include broad functions not included by default in newLISP. These will comprise the NOODLES context and will be vetted for internal consistency, both in terms of error free function and theme, as well as consistency with each released version of newLISP. In fact, one purpose of the rest of this wiki is to provide a place for candidate ideas and code to serve as part of the "official" Noodles release.

What It Is

newLISP on Noodles is NOT any of the following

• A forum for comparing newLISP to other versions of LISP or other programming languages.
• A forum for debating the merits of abstract programming concepts that don't bear on the considerations above.

These are valid and interesting topics. They're just beyond the scope of this project.
