Apropos

What is artful code?

LISPs are traditionally named using synonyms for cleverness, such as Guile or Scheme; artifice is built into the language itself. Artful code is expressive, efficient, elegant, and idiomatic, in that order.

newLISP Arguments module
latest version is 0.1

Simplifies processing command-line options using FOOP.

newLISP mode for emacs
latest version is 0.25

This is just a quick hack of the newLISP mode for emacs linked to on http://www.newlisp.org. This just comments out a few lines that were causing errors when starting the program. Most likely, this is horribly out-dated and a quick search of the newLISP forums will probably find something better.

newLISP Template System
latest version is 0.2

The template module was inspired largely by the Django template system. I firmly believe that separating complex logic from the template itself leads to both cleaner code and, much more importantly, a simpler system for non-programmers. A content producer should not be required to know lisp to write a simple template.

newLISP TextMate bundle
latest version is beta

TextMate is an excellent programmers' editor for OSX. This bundle provides highlighting, code folding, and a few other niceties to support writing newLISP code in TextMate.
