Welcome to the Lisp Dialect Showcase! This repository highlights various Lisp dialects, each implementing common algorithms. Explore how different languages approach similar problems, and gain insights into the unique features of each dialect.
Lisp is a family of programming languages with a rich history and a unique syntax. This repository serves as a platform for showcasing various dialects of Lisp. By examining different implementations of common algorithms, you can appreciate the strengths and characteristics of each dialect.
This project features several popular Lisp dialects:
-
Clojure: A modern, functional language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It emphasizes immutability and concurrency.
-
Common Lisp: A versatile and powerful dialect that offers a rich set of features and libraries. It's widely used in academia and industry.
-
Emacs Lisp: A dialect used primarily for scripting within the Emacs text editor. It allows users to extend and customize their editing experience.
-
Fennel: A Lisp that compiles to Lua. It provides a familiar syntax for Lua developers while retaining Lisp's powerful features.
-
Hy: A Lisp dialect that compiles to Python. It allows developers to write Python code with Lisp syntax, making it a bridge between two worlds.
-
Janet: A small, embeddable Lisp that focuses on simplicity and performance. It is designed for scripting and embedding in applications.
-
Racket: A descendant of Scheme, Racket is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language. It supports functional programming and provides powerful tools for language creation.
-
Scheme: A minimalist dialect of Lisp that emphasizes a small set of features and a clean syntax. It is often used in educational settings.
In this repository, you will find implementations of several common algorithms across different Lisp dialects. Some of these algorithms include:
-
Sorting Algorithms: Explore how each dialect implements sorting techniques like Quick Sort, Merge Sort, and Bubble Sort.
-
Search Algorithms: Examine implementations of algorithms such as Binary Search and Depth-First Search.
-
Data Structures: Learn about various data structures like linked lists, trees, and hash tables.
-
Mathematical Algorithms: Discover implementations of algorithms for calculating Fibonacci numbers, prime numbers, and factorials.
