- HTML is replaced with S-Exprs

- CSS is replaced with lisp

- javascript is replaced with lisp

Then I think I'll be ready to join whatever cult you ever feel like starting :-)

Javascript: https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript

seriously, Clojure is the utopia.

Thanks for this, you made my day!! I was always curious of what could be done using EQL.

Do you have binaries compiled for Windows​? What would your recommendation be for building under windows? Just regular ECL configured for working with EQL? plus GCC tools?

Keep the light of Common Lisp shining like a beacon of hope and joy for the devoted hackers!

I’d expect a “Lisp-based” browser to implement its rendering engine in Lisp, probably atop CLIM. Otherwise you’re just using Lisp as a scripting language to glue a couple prefab components together.

You’re right in a most technical sense, it’s a lisp programmable browser

Rather than using ECL to embed Lisp in C++, have you considered using an FFI to call out to QT from Lisp? Nothing's wrong with your approach, of course (the venerable emacs is Lisp atop a C core, after all!).

I wonder how difficult it'd be to get uBlock-style adblocking working on this.

I have thought about that, and afaik that is the approach of CommonQT, definitely a good solution, but I chose EQL + ECL specifically due to the fantastic support their respective developers provided. They're really smart guys, and I appreciate what they're doing.

Ad-blocking shouldn't be too hard to do in QT, I think I may have to do it in the C++ Layer below though. I believe one has to extend QNetworkManager or some other similarly named class.

Anyways, thank you for your interest, lots of new features in the works :)

Working on others too!

First off, there is already commercial software called "Next Browser" -- it appears before your code in google searches. I don't think they have a US trademark (yet). They might have a chinese trademark. At any rate, it might not be wise to be naming something that puts you in potential future trademark jeopardy.

Second, when I think of "Next Browser" I think of this:

I'm sure others do too. You sure you want to be competing with WorldWideWeb.app, of all applications, for mindshare?

In terms of names in general, I think you will always be stepping on toes somewhere, there are so many names out there, and especially when you want to use a normal English word, it is hard to find anything really available without making up something.

QT5 Webkit :)
