| 6 | ## A Javascript with Lispy syntax and Macros!
|
| 7 | Lispyscript is Javascript using a 'Lispy' syntax, and compiles to Javascript.
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 | An inherent problem with Javascript is that it has no
|
| 10 | macro support, like other Lisp like languages. That's because macros manipulate the syntax tree while
|
| 11 | compiling. And this is next to impossible in a language like Javascript. In LispyScript we write Javascript
|
| 12 | in a tree structure. If you know Javascript and a Lisp like language, then using LispyScript will be a
|
| 13 | breeze. Even if you don't know a Lispy Language, all you need to learn is to write code in a tree structure.
