This just may be possible. A while back at my university, Microsoft hosted a lecture and forum about L#, which I can only assume to be a knockoff of LISP.

Do you have any specific implementations to cite? @MashHen That is a good point regarding ASP.NET. IIRC, ASP.NET compiles all of the aspx pages into explicit C# files, placing those files in an ASP.NET temporary directory, then creates assemblies using a C# compiler in the framework. The resultant assemblies are loaded dynamically. I guess something similar could be created, maybe with in-memory compilation and assembly loading. @Ramon Leon

All Smalltalk and Self environments do this as well, that's why Smalltalkers love their images, it's their Emacs. “Emacs the only editor that I know at this time that allows you to create extensions for editor from within the editor itself and apply them immediately the current session.”

"my-hello works" in my version on GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600). I do not have ntemacs, so I cannot verify. Did you cut-and-yank the code from the browser? In my browser, the "sDestination" is enclosed in fancy quotes, which emacs may interpret as a symbol instead as a string. So, check that and let me know what you find. @Clint

It was the quotes. Delete them and replace with standard Emacs quotes (all of them). Or, simply retype the whole thing and do not cut and paste. Never mind… figured it out. It was the quotes.

Error is: Symbol's value as variable is void: "sDestination:" Am I doing something wrong? my-hello does not work in ntemacs. Error is:

Symbol’s value as variable is void: “sDestination:”

Am I doing something wrong?
