Tim,
Thank you for the interesting post about Axiom design and use of lisp.
I wondered if you ever considered Clojure?
I have very little practical experience of Lisp, so please forgive my
ignorance but, I get the impression that Clojure has better type checking?
Also use of JVM means it has access to extensive Libraries (powerful
graphics and so on). Also concurrency so no need for 'C' code.
I am also curios why SPAD has "poor notion of low-level implementation
concepts". From what I can see SPAD appears to implement code as an
algorithm like other languages and (for instance) structures tend to be
built up from lists rather than sets. I'm not advocating SPAD as a
system language I'm just curious about what the real issue is.
Martin
