[Openmcl-devel] Interactive cocoa programming

[Alexander Repenning]

Try XMLisp (eXtreme Media Lisp)  http://code.google.com/p/xmlisp/    Here is the complete Lisp part of the XMLisp version of Currency Exchange: 


(defmethod CONVERT-CURRENCY-ACTION ((w application-window) (Button button))
  (setf (value (view-named w "amount"))
        (* (value (view-named w "rate"))
           (value (view-named w "dollars")))))


Of course you need to define the layout (WARNING: file contains extremely dangerous ideas including the ability of Lisp to read XML expressions):
