Again, shows his ignorance > Fourth, Scheme and Lisp are very similar to OCaml (LISP family of > languages). Scheme and Lisp are interpreted, while OCaml is compiled. Actually, Javascript, Python, Lisp and Scheme are more along the lines of the same family. The ML and Haskell families are the most strongly typed languages with really complex checking schemes which makes them one of the most advanced and well thaught out software ever written. The only similarity it has with Scheme/Lisp is its strong optimizations for tail recursion (which python lacks, but makes up for in its support for concurrency and huge library and ease of use) Also ML is usually interpreted but can be compiled and reach speeds comparable to C++ with generics, but the same holds true for Python and Java. The amazing thing about ML is the type inference engine it has which makes it almost as transparent as the dynamic languages. I fully agree that the only thing that makes sense is the right tool for the right job. Theres no generalities in programming. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
