So far that's Python, Perl, TCL, Prolog, and R. Wow. Makes me wonder: would it be possible to define a generic interface to external scripting languages? That could make CL the ultimate "glue" language, able to use almost any combination of libraries from different languages. Of course, I can't even imagine how one would implement such a beast -- sockets, SWANK, SLIMPL? I think it would be cool to have a generic CFFI-like interface on top of different back-end implementations for various dynamically-typed scripting languages. That's definitely a project for the more distant future, however. For now, I'll settle for one language at a time. -Stuart _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
