<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As an interesting project, I was thinking about
converting some of my old applications from Lisp to Erlang. It should be
interesting and not extremely difficult. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, there is one thing that I don't know how
to handle: in Lisp it is very easy to dynamically build a list and then evaluate
it as a program. Is there a way to do something like that with Erlang?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One simple solution would be to write a Lisp-like
interpreter in Erlang, and use regular lists to build and to evaluate. But much
cooler it would be to have an Erlang interpreter instead!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Btw, how could one write lists as in Lisp, without
commas between items? Parse transformations need proper Erlang code as input,
don't they?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
