Hi Bill. | So as much as I do respect lisp, I have serious doubts about | the claim that "The skill to understand and debug lisp is | likely to be more common down the road". For example, I think | that in the short time that Python has existed (relative to | lisp), it currently has many many more active programmers | than lisp. Of course BOOT is not Python, but my point is that | a typical Python programmer (e.g. "me" :) has much less | resistance learning BOOT then learning lisp.
Ditto from my Haskell/ML perspective. Once I understood the relationship between BOOT and the Axiom language I found it much more readable. One wonders, however, just how complicated a build system actually has to be particularly as Lisp is used elsewhere in Axiom.
