If I understand well, it seems that you wrote some kind of lisp dialect with the following particularities (some of my observations might be wrong, so please correct them):
- it's somehow executed in javascript, so when I load in page with lambdaway code in it, js executes the code and the output is displayed on the page
- braces are replacing parenthesis
- you allow unicode variables (like \Phi)
- by default, an expression is a string, unless it's preceded by a colon (my first opinion is that it's not the best and it would be better to use the quotes for the strings like other languages do, but I can be wrong)
I happen to be writing at the moment a blog post (it's not finished yet, but here is the beginning: http://eskatrem.github.io/Newton-Raphson ) that uses some mathematical symbols - it will also talk about lisp by the way. I guess it's something that could be - better? - done with lambdway?
Please next time explain the thing being shown in the post itself.
Welcome in the {lambda way} project, a workshop built as
a thin overlay on top of any modern web browser, and
devoted to writing, composing and coding on the web, where
the markup, styling and scripting are unified in a single
language, {lambda talk}.
This is brilliant by the way. Definitely show it to more people and get feedback, it is so outside of the norm that it will take time for the idea to spread.
You might want to edit and add a short description that people can read without clicking the link. Alternatively, "SHOW HN" is usually a direct link to your project.
Because we are in a wiki, it's 95% standard text where () are frequently used (like that), not for bracketting S-expressions. I choose braces because they are rarely used in a standard text. So you can write things like {b Hello {u (brave new)} World} without any conflicts.
I tried clicking on this link while in India. Strangely enough, I'm getting this intriguing message-
“Your requested URL has been blocked as per the directions received from Department of Telecommunications, Government of India. Please contact administrator for more information.”
I had such a similar behaviour trying to access " http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/ " from a school where the administration had blackboxed websites belonging to "free.fr", I don't know why. Did you try an access elsewhere?
