Loop does not work (under try lisp)

[malisper]

I don't know if it is a problem with jscl or something on your end, but loop is completely broken. Something as simple as:

(loop for i from 1 to 10 collect i)

gives "ERROR: Variable `FOR' is unbound."

Yeah, it's not implemented yet in JSCL, sadly. As it says in the readme (https://github.com/davazp/jscl): "it would be great if we were just enough compliant to include a loop implementation, a format implementation, or even CLOS or non-CLOS OOP."

Don't hesitate to create a ticket in jscl if you miss a non-implemented feature. It will help to prioritize. I will try hard to get it into jscl.

Thanks David. I forked JSCL because I plan to contribute to it---but yes, I'll create the ticket as well.

You (thephoeron) might want to make it clear somewhere that the REPL is not completely compatible with the book.

[thephoeron]

malisper: yeah, that might help, to be more explicit. my original plan was to have a browser repl side-by-side with the text---but then I would have to ignore so much important functionality of the language. that's why I separated the in-browser repl to its own page, as a fun guided tour, with specific examples that I know work.

Feature request moved upstream.
