dript documentation
nightmarepatrol - January 26, 2007 - 19:49
Has anyone come up with any documentation *with* examples on how to use dript. This looks like it has a great deal of promise, however I'm having a bit of trouble getting off the ground with it and need to see some documentation with examples.
I did visit Roland's dript site but didn't dint what I was looking for. Any help getting started would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Relatively new
Dript is a new module and currently released under development version. The work started about two months ago. Roland's dript site is also new. Roland and I are doing unit testing. While at the same time I'm adding more functions and writing the documentation at the link sepeck pointed out.
I will help as much as I can. If you have a specific example in mind I will be glad to know that. This is a good time to start documenting dript by example.
Currently dript functions are more focus on node and CCK field. I'm investigating drupal theming engines to add theming related functions to dript. I'm also looking at other areas where dript can be useful for drupal.
I hope there will be more contributors to this project :)
Dript examples
Conveniently I am looking to use dript for exactly nodes built with CCK. I am primarily interested it using it for searching based on content type with drill down options. It would appear from what I read to have some inherent advantages over using a straight PHP solution. The syntax and parameters are the biggies. Also, are the functions recursive and reentrant? This would be a major plus!
A few examples would probably suffice for now.
Thanks, for the response!
An example in Lisp group
I've just posted a dript example in the lisp group.
Yes, dript functions are reentrant and you can define complex recursive function in dript. In fact (lambda) and (eval) are already implemented, just to mention two sophisticated lisp functions in dript.
One tough job that is facing the dript team now is to remove the hurdle that blocks lispers from seeing into Drupal. Those who programs with lisp tends to appreciate PHP less:)
yup, lisp.rolandtanglao.com is not helpful yet
hope to eventually make it more helpful
for now it's my documentation of my drupal + lisp journey
