#61480 — Macros (was Re: Resources to learn common lisp?)

I think it's worth understanding what macros actually mean.

Most programming languages are dictatorships: a small, usually
self-elected, self-important group of people designs a language, and
thousands or millions of serfs have to suffer the consequences of their
choices.

Sometimes there is a pretense of some limited form of democracy: perhaps
you, as a mere serf, can join the politburo and have a vote on what happens
to the language.  Sometimes this involves a payment to some nebulous
standards organisation.  Sometimes you can comment on suggested changes;
sometimes people might listen to those comments.  Sometimes the politburo
is not largely made up of representatives (either explicit or implicit) of
huge corporations who care not one jot about your interests.

Changes, when they happen at all, take years.  The language is ossified
almost as soon as it exists.

Almost always, for large systems, there will be tools built on top of the
ossified substrate language which allow people to write programs in a way
which actually matches their problem domain.  Those tools are, in fact,
*programming languages*, although they're usually implemented in an ad-hoc
way by people who don't even realise that what they are doing is designing
a programming language.  They are therefore predictably horrible.  If you
have not used such an ad-hoc language you probably have not worked on a
large system.

Sometimes people make a better decision: they take an existing (usually
dynamically typed as basically nobody likes static typing in the real
world, usually either not compiled or dynamically compiled) language which
has a good interface to the ossified substrate and expose functionality
written in the ossified substrate to the more flexible surface language. 
NumPy and all its relations are the canonical example of this.

That's at least better than the thing implemented using m4 on top of
Fortran or whatever.  But the thing written in m4 on top of Fortran is
*still* better than using Fortran directly (and this is not because
Fortran, today, is a bad language, which is is not, it's because it's an
ossified language).

Quite often what happens is that user or group of users of a language gets
so fed up with this process that they design a new language which better
meets their needs, perhaps starting with one of the ad-hoc languages above.
 That language then develops its own self-important politburo, becomes
ossified.

Recurse.

Lisp chose something else.  Lisp chose not to be a dictatorship, but to
treat its users as adults capable of making their own decisions: decisions
which were as good as the decisions of the politburo if not better. 
Decisions which, certainly, relfected the needs of the users making the
decisions rather than some distant observer.

Lisp looked at what *actually happens* in the world rather than in the
heads of the politburo members, and it saw that what happened was the
endless invention of new languages, either for specific problem domains, or
just because the existing languages were so terrible.  And it said, 'OK,
let's make that a feature, not something you have to fight your way
towards.  Let's build a language whose defining feature is that it lets you
build languages.  Let's allow it to let you build languages
*incrementally*, rather than putting some enormous barrier in your way.  So
you can take an existing language and define some extensions to it, and
those extensions wil have exactly the same status as the original language
does.'

If you disagree with the decisions of the politburo you don't have to wait
five years for the members to die and the decision to change, you can just
make the system do what you want, today.

Lisp understood that this means you have to make some compromises.  The
most significant is that the syntax of the language must have very low
commitment to the semantics.  That makes the language rather austere, but
it means that you, the user of the language, get to say what the semantics
is, without having to jump through some huge ring of fire and getting
burned in the process.

Lisp is a system built by people who understand how utterly stupid the
claim that any programming language contains 90% of all the constructs
anyone will ever need is.

Lisp is a democracy.  It is perhaps more than a democracy: it either is or
is close to an anarchy.  Anarchies obviously work only if their citizens
are actually adults and if they are willing to cooperate with one another. 
But, well, Lisp assumes you are.  If you're not an adult, or if you can't
deal with cooperating with other people in the design of the language
you're going to use, or if you like someone telling you what to do then,
well, do what thou wilt.

Lisp understands that a consequence of this anarchy is that different
groups of users working on different projects will end up using differing
languages, or dialects (*a shprakh iz a dyalekt mit an armey un flot*,
famously), and it also understands that *that's what happens anyway*,
except the languages and dialects people end up using are usually things
created using tools whose only datatype is the string.

Like I say: if you're happy to live as a serf in a dictactorship, or if you
feel you might become a dictator, then that's OK.  But please, stay the
fuck away from those of us who want not to be serfs or dictators, and who
want to make our own decisions in a community of our equals.

This url is not that news and I never saw it anywhere. Maybe you already
sent it but as my ISP is broken, I don't see all the messages. So it's
the first time I see this link.

Many thanks for this.

It tells me things about me which don't concern you. But it told me
things about LISP which always eluded me.

The fact is that LISP is almost never used is the real life. I know
stump, nyxt and guix are LISP programs, but they represent less than
0.[n]01% of users (I have no clue about the number of zeros represented
by n here, but I'd say you can put a big number).

Because if I know that LISP inspired a lot of things actually used in
other programming languages, I know that nobody actually is learning
LISP or computer history or anything that could explain why so many
messages about LISP are shared compared with the number of people using
it in a day to day basis.

I'm not a programmer, but as computer science is allowing me to get
things in my stomach (and as a French guy, what I put in my stomach is
very important don't belittle that part), I have to follow up on what's
happening in computer world. And I found a lot of things about LISP.
Don't get me wrong. I find something like 1% of blogs/articles/whatever
related to LISP. You can think it as small, but compared to what LISP is
used in real life, it's huge. For each article/blog/whatever about C or
C++ or COBOL, I can see at least ten articles/blog/whatever about LISP.
And it's something.

And I wondered about it from a long, long time. And this links explains
a lot, thanks.

Let me mention some decision of the polibiuro that I do not like.

1) I am a Unix man and doing

(compile-file "foo/bar.lisp" :output-file "baz/bar.fasl")

I want output to live is file "baz/bar.fasl" relative to current
directory.  But polibiuro decided differently.  I solve this in
Blub way, that is writing wrapper function that converts
"baz/bar.fasl" to absolute path and then calls 'compile-file'.

2) Program that I am developing has a user language which is implemented
converting user input to Lisp and then using 'eval' to evaluate it.
That is good, but there is a catch: from users point of view "T"
is a perfectly good variable name.  But polibiuro decided that
it is reserved.  I could try to work around this using packages,
but this has serious drawback.  So I solve this in Blub way,
that is convertion replaces "T" by a different name.

3) I would like to so symbolic computation with arbitrary symbols.
For my purpose a symbol is always different from a list.  But
polibiuro decided that "NIL" is identical to the empty list.
I would like "NIL" to be a constant symbol which when evaluated
gives empty list.  That I could fix with packages.  But there is
a catch: I want my symbols to print in natural way, without
package prefix and the same for empty list.  And for that I did
not found a solution.

4) In a function I would like RETURN to return a current function,
even if there are blocks inside.  I think that a macro could help
with this, but this would be rather hairy macro needind to walk
trough arbitrary Lisp code.  So in Blub spirit I live with the
problem.

5) I create symbols from strings.  For my sanity I want symbols
in source exactly (including case) to match strings used to
create symbols.  But I dislike shouting, so I would prefer lower
case symbols in my source.  I can partially solve this: I can
create a package called "common-lisp" (in lower case) and populate
it with lower case versions of symbols from "COMMON-LISP".  That
somewhat works for functions, that is I can assign to 'symbol-funtion'
to get the same function as for corresponding symbol in "COMMON-LISP".
I could probably handle macros and special forms in similar way.
And probably constants too.  I probably could handle variables
using symbol macros.  But there is a trouble with functions: functions
in "COMMON-LISP" expect upper case keywords.  To have lower case
keywords I would have to replace each Common Lisp function by a
wrapper which converts keyword arguments.  And presumably, Lisp
printer would print "expanded" version of my code, so I would
loose correspondence with my sources.  So ATM in Blub spirit
I decided that it is too much work to change the language.

BTW: IIUC Allegro CL has resonable solution to this.  But I am
using free Lisp-s and unwilling to swich to closed source
system.

Note how the defaults for input-file are filled in from
*input-pathname-defaults*, but the same does not apply to output-file:
<https://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_cmp_fi.htm>.

This is what I mean by Common Lisp being full of baggage for catering
to non-POSIX operating systems which are all extinct now.

Or alternatively, you shouldn’t be equivalencing user-defined
variables directly to Lisp variables.

You want more than one empty-list object? I think that is
traditionally treated as a “singleton” (not just in Lisp), which means
the answer is “no”.

No, a single empty list object.  I just want symbol NIL to be
a real symbol distingushable from empty list. Consider
* (setf a '( 1 ))
(1)
* (cdr a)
NIL
* (symbolp (cdr a))
T
* (eq (cdr a) 'NIL)
T

It would be better is the second line gave empty list, not a symbol.
More important third and fourth line both should return false.
OTOH the following still should hold

* (eq (cdr a) NIL)
T
* (if (cdr a) "bad" "good")
"good"

And compare the above to

(setf b (cdr a))
NIL
* (eq (cdr a) 'b)
NIL
* (eq (cdr a) b)
T

b is ordirnary symbol, after assignment evaluating b gives empty
list, but _symbol_ b is different than empty list.  The same
should hold for NIL.

If you think a bit current behaviour is highly unintuitive and
requires some trickery to implement but is mandated by the
Common Lisp specification.

But this is a fundamental part of the traditional way that Lisp works:
an “empty list” isn’t really a list at all, it is just a pointer that
points nowhere (in C: NULL; in Lisp: NIL). Hence the need for a
special symbol to denote it.

In Python, on the other hand, an empty list is constructed with an
expression like “[]”, an empty tuple with “()”, and both of these are
distinct from the “None” object.

No, you do not need special symbol to denote empty list, "()" works
fine:

* ()
NIL

And I do not want to upset people that write NIL to get empty
list, writing NIL would still give you empty list.

Concering tradition, I suspect that basically the same behaviour
appears in newer Lisp system "because it was always done that way".

But it seem to be rather specific to Lisp, there are other system
having similar handling of lists and I know of no other repeating
Lisp misfeature.

But that equivalence is the very thing you were complaining about.
Whereas in Python:

It has to do with the implementation. A list consists of cons
structures linked together via pointers. An empty list consists of no
cons structures, hence there is nothing to point to.

I can think of one: multiple-value-return. This requires the creation
of a whole mechanism involving data structures that are not really
data structures.

Python and JavaScript have a simpler approach to the same concept:
destructuring assignment.

I am affraid you do not understand what I want.  I can do the
following:

* (shadow "NIL")
T
* (defconstant nil ())
NIL
* (eq 'NIL NIL)
COMMON-LISP:NIL
* NIL
COMMON-LISP:NIL
* ()
COMMON-LISP:NIL
*

So, I can have my NIL that is different than empty list, but which
when evaluated gives empty list.  After that I can distinguish
"my" symbols from lists.  The problem which I can not solve is
that empty list is printed as 'COMMON-LISP:NIL' instead of '()'.
And Common Lisp functions still will treat empty list as a symbol.

Actually, in Common Lisp empty list is almost a cons cell.  Namely,
you can do:

* (car nil)
NIL
* (cdr nil)
NIL
*

Usually it is implemented by special data in memory that looks like
a cons cell, with CAR and CDR that point to itself.  Function that
check for NIL simply compare address with address of NIL.

Common Lisp arranges data structure representing NIL so that it
also looks like a symbol.  Quite possible that this led to some
simplification in first implementation (say skipping explicit case
for empty list in printing code).  But it actually is a buden
for modern implementations.  Not a big burden, but implementers
must make sure that layout of cons cell and layout of symbols
are compatible enough.  Or alternatively sprinkle generated code
with checks for special case of empty list which would likely
decrease performance.

multiple-value-return is a different story.  One can easily get
equivalent effect with explict stack.  And one can implement
multiple values using a stack + markers.  But AFAICS motivation
for multiple values is to generate more efficient code and more
efficient implementation will return first few values in
machine registers.  That saves allocation of intermediate container
that would became garbage after return.  In other words,
multiple values require extra effort from implementation and
programmers using them, but leads to more efficient code.
One can debate if the effect is worth the effoet.  OTOH nothing
forces you to return multiple values from your functions.

I usually use deconstant or define symbol macro.

If your priority is purity, there is not reason for end-of-list to be a symbol.

(defconstant end-of-list (let ((result (cons 0 0)))
			   (setf (car result) result
				 (cdr result) result)))

That’s a constant for which (car end-of-list) will give end-of-list as will
(cdr end-of-list). Your implementation will need to handle circularity
with grace.

This makes the implementation of #'listp simpler; it just becomes #'consp. You
would need to use #'endp to detect the end of the list, but that’s recommended
anyway. 

Nothing is compatible with this and you will have constant work if you wish to
use your lists like that. But, yes, it’s more semantically pure.

There is this assumption, is there, that “list” must mean the
traditional Lisp implementation in terms of two-field cells, so
processing always involves a lot of pointer-chasing?

I don’t think there is any such assumption in Python, just for
example. Expressions of the form “[...]” are said to construct
“lists”, but the underlying implementation is more likely to be a flex
array (to use Algol 68 terminology).

Yes, I can get half way by using packages and shadowing real NIL.  But
in such approach Common Lisp still considers empty list to be a symbol
and prints it a symbol.  More radical approach as above means that
I can no longer use standard Common Lisp functions so I need to add
"buggy and slow implementation of half of the Common Lisp" to my
program.

Some have proposed coming up with more modern Lisps as an alternative
to Common Lisp. Are any of them realistic yet?

No the subject of /weird/, I've also found it highly bizarre, if not
outright disturbing, that people don't use do ... while(); in C.  It's
an eminently useful structured programming pattern.

On the subject of Common Lisp, I find it more than disturbing when a
codebase lacks the basic usage of hash tables.

Happy coding disturbing things!

Finally, every time that I open a PR with that pattern I get questioned
and frown. It's such disturbing.

unless you find some code base that use hash table all over the place.
