README

Put some LISP in your PHP.

Goals

The basic idea here is to create small and fast LISP interpreter for PHP that focuses on functional programming, while also allowing interoperation with PHP itself. You should be able to add Desmond on top of an existing PHP code base, allowing lispy goodness that has access to the application it sits on. In other words, you could write a Wordpress mod in Desmond.

Features

  • Functional
  • Immutable data types
  • PHP interop
  • PHP app integration
  • Geared for the web
  • Built in help text
