My Lisp User Reviews

Scrolling needs improvement

In the Console, when you fill it up the last line is off the bottom so you can’t see the result or what you are typing. Other than that it works great.

Oh...

Since I can’t copy and paste from the website, it’s difficult to use it for checking the behavior of sample code.

Thank you!

At first glance, a very nice implementation of LISP on the Mac, with which AI programming (Peter Norvig, 1991) can be learned wonderfully

Very nice iOS implementation

Nice lisp interpreter I’m on iOS. It’s fast and extensible. Includes a number of examples. Nice editor and other tools included. Can’t beat the price.

MAJOR FUNCTIONS MISSING

This app is useless. Most functions from common lisp say ‘undefined function’. There isn’t even an array function. Basic functions such as defun are missing. Is there a way to get them in there, and if so how to define them? We don’t know because the ‘help’ tab is also useless.

Response from developer

The help page provides the list of the functions along with an access to the user manual in PDF format that may answer a few of your questions. The examples may also be a good starting point to understand the difference between My Lisp and the dialect of Lisp you are used to. As far as defun is concerned, the My Lisp “equivalent” is define.

Get it, use it, you won’t regret it

Has parens matching now. Keeps getting better and better.

Great for learning LISP

I wanted to have on device LISP interpreter to do examples as I go along Peter Norvig AI Paradigm book. This app makes LISP just a swipe away.

This app rocks. I love it!

Brilliant

Works great, just what I needed to work through sicp on my phone. Thank you!

Otherwise a nice app, hoping to do some serious number crunching with it.

Great app. Missing parentheses matching.

A well implemented app with files app integration and a syntax highlighting editor. If only the app had parentheses matching, this app would rock as hell. Love it, none the less.

Undefined functions

It’s wast of money since most of functions in Autolisp language is not defined in library of this app . For example setq Getint getpoint and so on . Idk how should i use this app considering this point .

Reply to developer :
Could you tell me where i would be able to find list of functions in this program ( in order to find equivalent ones to Aulolisp)

Response from developer

Hi, My Lisp is not AutoLisp but a general purpose Lisp engine. You may be able to find equivalent function (set! for setq) or define other functions yourself (using read for setpoint and getint), but you’ll likely not get all AutoLisp. Sorry about it. You can get the list of all the functions and features of My Lisp on the help screen of the application (the green tab), along with a user manual with further details. Cheers

Amazing

I’m in love with this app. The experience of reading the lambda white paper and being able to work through it myself ON MY iPHONE is phenomenal. To any philosophers-in-training out there who are studying “quantitative reasoning,” buy this app now and you can stop asking “what will I use symbolic logic for.” It’s like giving Plato a graphing calculator. Plato’s updated slogan may as well be “let no one know enter philosophy who does not know Lisp.”

Good APP

I am learning Scheme using my iPad Pro 11 inch, please fix the display of it.

Simply Awesome

This app is awesome. It’s simple, minimal and easy to use if you know the lisp language.

I wish it had graphics capability for games, artwork and charting, sound/ audio capabilities and some interactive capability for screen touch and screen orientation like Pythonista and Codea provide.

And access to system functions like the date and time and filesystem.

I wish it had a prolog interpreter with lisp source available and an external repository of lisp code like rosettacode.org
