Richard,

I see you are in GA. I wanted to make sure you had seen the following message:

You wrote:
"The next bump was chopping off the "command" argument from the remainder of the S-expression to call the next run, which left a single argument for the &rest, the argument being a list of the remaining arguments, so that had to be car'ed, and you had to remember to do it everywhere, etc. It's messy."

Not necessarily, you can get by without APPLY even.

One way to do it is:
(defgeneric run-with-command (lg command args))

(defun run (turtle args)
(if (endp args)
turtle
(run-with-command turtle (first args) (rest args))))

and let the DEFLOGO macro generate methods for RUN-WITH-COMMAND.

Hey Richard,

That's very slick! I put a link to this post in the Artima discussion section for the article to help folks find their way here.

Of course it would. See the CLHS for `READ', `EVAL', `COMPILE', `LOAD', and their relatives.

OK, this is a perfect place to bring this up. I've seen the "interpreter vs. compiler" examples in the literature, but I've never quite understood if the compilers would work with reading external files with DSL code in them or if they just work for the DSL that's already in the source code.
This was supposed to be for reading external Logo files; would the compiler work with that as well.

Either way, nice job with the macro characters.

I read your post and I thought I'd try my own way. After half an hour I came up with this (note that this actually allows CL to compile, not just interpret) (and note that some names/access methods aren't that well-chosen.. fun of hacks):
