Dear Tim, thank you for your long mail and the invitation to a coofee which I took while reading...
Perhaps I may add, that as a _user_ of AXIOM, I am totally ignorant to its internal struggles (bild process from scratch, historical accidents, etc), but that I need to focus my resources. I am not a programmer, but need to be able to develop own functionality. So I would vote for a system having 1 internal language (lisp, C++, ...) and probably one toplevel language (Aldor, spad, ...). Any further mixing prevents a _user_ from even making first steps. Hence I would at least like to have a winner of the lanuage war, alas such stories usually will have no ... and they lifed happyly ever after. ciao BF. % PD Dr Bertfried Fauser % Institution: Max Planck Institute for Math, Leipzig <http://www.mis.mpg.de> % Privat Docent: University of Konstanz, Phys Dept <http://www.uni-konstanz.de> % contact|->URL : http://clifford.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~fauser/ % Phone : Leipzig +49 341 9959 735 Konstanz +49 7531 693491 _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
