Lisp has many talents for an embedded scripting language: It is simple in concepts, lean in implementation, flexible and dynamic. Popular applications embedding Lisp as macro language is for example Emacs or AutoCAD.

acdk_lisp provides a free standing Lisp implementation with most common constructs, inluding

macros and

Object Oriented extension following the Common Lisp modell. acdk_lisp is seamless integrated with ACDK C++. From inside the Lisp code any ACDK Class (implemented in C++, CfgScript or other DMI Implementations) can be accessed:


(defun foo (string1 string2)
  (setf sb (new 'acdk.lang.StringBuffer string1)) ; this is the ordinary C++ class
  (sb 'append string2)
)
((peek-static 'acdk.lang.System 'out) 'println (foo "Hello " "ACDK"))
