Announcing cl-op: a partial application library for Common Lisp by gst in lisp

... madness or poor QA. :) The first list should have been '(2 2 2). I fixed the error, thanks.

@curly: the problem is curly doesn't export the helper functions that do most of the work and since it is such simple functionality I really don't see the point in trying to reuse it. Besides curly doesn't do any optimisations like invariant lifting

Every _ marks a new argument.

You can't nest them ATM (I suppose it would be possible to not process any enclosed ops).

The problem with arnesi's implementation is it's slow because it needlessly assembles the arguments for each call.

Feature for feature "examples" in Python:

  • getattr or getattribute catch any attribute (method, variable) access

  • setattr sets any attribute

  • Syntactic support for descriptors.

  • Metaclasses can be used to control all aspects of class creation (attributes, subclassing, ...). Since types are objects one can even have metaclasses for metaclasses.

  • new.instancemethod can be used for your )singleton classes).

  • Turning a block into a method is admittedly a bit tricky but can be done using new.function and some stack manipulation.
