Beyond Traditional Pattern Matching in Lisp


An implementation of a full fledged Lisp interpreter with Data Structure, Pattern Programming and High level Functions with Lazy Evaluation à la Haskell. - naver/lispe

LispE’s defpred integrates backtracking and predicate logic natively, treating each instruction as a Boolean condition that must succeed for the function to proceed. This declarative approach, inspired by logic programming, contrasts sharply with the imperative or functional control flow in other Lisps, offering a distinct tool for tasks requiring conditional exploration. These examples demonstrate LispE’s focus on expressiveness and modularity, making it a compelling option for tasks involving complex data, custom syntax, or logical reasoning.
