I looked up SEXPR and the following is what I got. > This library is intended to provide a minimal C/C++ API to efficiently create, manipulate, and > parse LISP-style symbolic expressions. An interpreter for a very minimal, high-performance > subset of LISP will eventually be included.

Why did you feel the need to improve on SEXPRs? What does > it improve on the CL Lisp model? 1. I don't want or need a C/C++ API. 2. I intend to do a lot more than just "LISP-style symbolic expressions" 3. I don't think LISP is very OOPs. 4. I don't like mixing program structure with program functions like LISP. 5. I don't like the prefix notation of LISP or it's unnecessary punctuation. etc etc LISP was designed a long time ago by University researchers and they can have it as far as I am concerned. My language stands all on it's own. Anyone wanting a language to manipulate arbitrary files on their computer can't use it as it is restricted to it's own directory by design. I could name many applications where my system is not appropriate but I think AGI isn't one of them. -- David Clark ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
