Good point. Steve wrote: "I predict the younger generation will return to LISP and C..." I worked with AutoLISP for a while and really enjoyed it. Steve wrote: ". I predict the younger generation will return to LISP and C after this current fallout over Java in education." To which fallout do you refer?

That assumes that there is a progression in programming languages. The reality is that us old farts got it right first time, and you guys are buggering it all up. Back to the metal, grasshopper. I predict the younger generation will return to LISP and C after this current fallout over Java in education. I worked at a University for a while. The students were abysmally crap. The courses didn't help. They did not graduate as programmers. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking Warning: Information provided via electronic media is not guaranteed against defects including translation and transmission errors.
