Bits / 2019 / Release lispmax module

lispmax is a BlitzMax module that adds a lispy scripting language to applications.

An example of what it can do:

' Create an environment.
Local lisp:LispMax = new LispMax
lisp.initializeEnvironment()

' Parse an expression.
Local expression:LispMax_Atom = lisp.parseExpression("(+ 1 2)")

' Evaluate it.
Local result:LispMax_Atom = lisp.evaluateExpression(expression)

' Print the result.
lisp.printExpression(result)

' => 3

It currently supports:

• Lisp quoting
• Macros
• Defining custom functions, either in BlitzMax or LispMax
• A full REPL
• Pausable processes (fake threading)

It’s mostly complete at this point, although it’s still quite slow and buggy in places. Still, I’d like to release it as part of sodaware.mod.
