Full Name:

  TwinLisp

System Group Name:

  twinlisp

Type:

  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
   TwinLisp (this is a name for this thing) is a translator. It translates
C/Java/etc - like syntax into proper Common Lisp S-expressions. REPL
(read-evaluate-print loop) will be changed to TREPL (translate-read-evaluate
loop). Translator level can be put on top of any lisp run-time.
 TwinLisp is designed for people who want lisp's powers, but with a
different, more "main-stream", syntax. This may bring more people to lisps.
 Even if TwinLisp syntax (language?) will not gain popularity, it shows
proper additions to C/Java/etc syntax that allow true (like in lisp) macros.
This by itself will help other languages to progress.

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Currently, TwinLisp is a python script, so it needs Python. By itself,
TwinLisp is a layer to be put over any Common Lisp implementation, such as
CLisp, or GCL.

Other Comments:
---------------
  I will attach a tar.gz to the tracker
