Bugs are a major theme on this list. As far as I know, Parenscript lacks unit tests that run the compiled Javascript code. Is that still correct? Perhaps it is time to introduce this feature? There are a few options here:<div>
<br></div><div>- cl-javascript is a pure lisp implementation of ECMAScript, and it actually works for most normal language cases</div><div>- cl-spidermonkey uses the FFI to interact with Mozilla's JS engine</div><div>
- v8, either through the FFI or a simple command line</div><div><br></div><div>This should allow the project to test much more rigorously than the current kinda kludgy test framework.</div><div><br></div><div>As a reference, I currently do this in PSOS: <a href="https://github.com/gonzojive/paren-psos/blob/master/test/test-package.lisp">https://github.com/gonzojive/paren-psos/blob/master/test/test-package.lisp</a></div>

It appears as though there might be a gap in the lexical scoping<br>
implementation in the compiler:<br>
<br>
(ps (lambda (x)<br>
(let ((x 1))<br>
(foo x))<br>
(incf x)))<br>
=><br>
"function (x) {<br>
var x = 1;<br>
foo(x);<br>
return ++x;<br>
};"<br>
<br>
vs.<br>
<br>
(ps (let ((x 10))<br>
(let ((x 1))<br>
(foo x))<br>
(incf x)))<br>
<br>
"var x = 10;<br>
var x33 = 1;<br>
foo(x33);<br>
++x;"<br>
<br>
Although function parameters have their own lexical bindings,<br>
the environment still needs to be informed of those bindings<br>
so that LET forms in the function body can rename any conflicts.<br>
