Hi Leslie,

Keyword treatment is kind of a sore point for PS. The compromise based on use cases that we came up with (this thread provides some background: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/parenscript-devel/2009-July/000569.html) is to always translate keywords as strings, and to not perform any name mangling on them (this is so you can use keywords like :+ and :% and whatever and have them be easy to read - useful for things like parsers; this also keeps the rules for symbol-to-js translation reasonably not crazy).

The way to do what you're looking for (this works in the repository version, but not in the latest release) is: (ps:ps ((create foo-bar 1)))

Ie - CREATE now treats its slot arguments as literals; there is no notion of "initargs" or anything else.

Thanks, Vladimir

Not sure if this is intended behavior with the next-generation Parenscript, but:

(ps:ps ((create :foo-bar 1))) => "({ 'foo-bar' : 1 })();"

This used to be converted properly to 'fooBar'. Now I have to specify a string instead which is not really lispy.

Leslie
