Indeed; I would prefer to promote the "pattern" aspect of boot -- though it really is rustic -- that to demonize Boot. I don't clearly like its layout rule. Clearly. Boot with real type system will start looking like Haskell :-) -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
