Boot's output is not a good way to judge. However, active proponents of Lisp rewrite have been very busy replacing readable Boot codes with unreadable Lisp captured from bootsys. As a case in point, people can admire bookvol5. Independently of that, the rewrite into Lisp is a setback to stoneages. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
