[parenscript-devel] New goodies in the repository thanks to Daniel Gackle and Scott Bell

[Vladimir Sedach]

Hello,

There's some neat new stuff, including partial implementations of
'loop' and 'destructuring-bind', that have been sent in by Daniel
Gackle and Scott Bell. Check it out.

I'm also busy rewriting the intermediate representation of Parenscript
to look like a 1-1 representation of JavaScript in s-exp format. The
eventual goal will be to standardize this representation, and move the
printing facility into a new project, tentatively entitled "The JS
Toolkit," which will use the standardized notation to provide parsing
and printing for textual JavaScript, and later a JavaScript compiler
entirely in Common Lisp, to provide Parenscript with better unit
testing tools and for letting you have server-side JavaScript in your
own web applications (as well as being useful for other CL projects).

Thank you,
Vladimir
