Playing With Syntax

Read Original

This technical article explores the syntactic flexibility of Lisp, focusing on assignment and mutation. It details the evolution of a custom macro, comparing Lisp's `setf` and `psetf` to operators in other languages, and demonstrates how to create in-place operators like `incf` for addition and custom macros for multiplication and division.
