I've only seen this done with two languages. Certainly it's possible in any language with the right "semantic chops" but so far it seems like we're looking at Lisp (et al) and FORTH. My observation has been that the main quality that yields (ease of recombination? I don't even know what it is for sure) is "syntaxlessness." I'd love to know about other languages and qualities of languages that are conducive to this sort of thing, especially if anyone has seen interesting work done with one of the logic languages. _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
