Polish notation

"Lots of Irritating Superflous Parenthesis"

(defpackage simple-app
  (:use :cl
        :clack))
(in-package :simple-app)

(defvar *handler*
    (clackup
      #'(lambda (env)
          '(200 (:content-type "text/plain") ("Hello, Clack!")))))

Magic operators

DEFMACRO, MACROEXPAND

  `(let ((,var ,val))
  ,@body))

The macro

The use

(let1 foo (+ 2 3)
  (princ "Lisp is awesome!")
  (* foo foo))

The expansion

(macroexpand '(let1 foo (+ 2 3)
  (* foo foo)))

Macros

  • 3 steps:
    • write sample call and expansion
    • write generative code
    • prevent leaks
  • plip, plop
