Hello.I'm thinking of using parenscript for my dissertation project. However, I'm a lisp newbie and I can't figure out how to compile a file. There is no README on the website or in the tarball.Could someone please please give me a hand?Thanks.

If you mean to use Parenscript to compile a Lisp file into JavaScript, look at http://common-lisp.net/project/parenscript/reference.html#section-ps-compile....

Yes, that is what I meant.
I installed sbcl and then parenscript with asdf. When I (require 'parenscript) and then (ps ....), it says PS undefined. What (else) do I need to import?

PS is defined in the Parenscript package. Does this work?
(ps:ps ...)
In general, A:B means "the symbol B, if any, exported from package A". More conveniently, you can evaluate the following:
(in-package :ps)
... and then your original form (ps ...) should work.
If you're using Slime, the command slime-repl-set-package can also be used to switch packages.

Ah, got it. It appears sbcl's asdf-install can't install parenscript globally for some reason. After installing it locally, (ps:ps ...) works fine.
Thanks for the quick cheat sheet :)

I haven't yet decided whether I'm using parenscript or clojure or even a lisp at all. My goal is generating readable and editable code, and so far a lisp looks like the best choice. It also has to run on Android easily.
But if I do use a lisp, thanks for the reference!
I'm curious, why not just use JavaScript directly?

Yes, Rhino is one of the available choices. I looked up clojure and parenscript in the hope of having a more expressive mapping between visual blocks and code, but it seems I'll get half way there fiddling with Rhino's AST. The developers of App Creator got to the same conclusion, the compile visual blocks into Kawa, but they don't have to expose Scheme to the user.
And Android developers rarely know lisp of any sort, so it's quite likely that I'll stay with Rhino.
Thanks a lot for all your help, everybody.
