it seems like a few weeks ago... but
           actually it was more like 30 years ago
that i was programming in C,      and

i'd get
                 [Segmentation Fault]     (core dumped)
                  [Bus Error]      (core dumped)
                  [access violation]     (core dumped)
                  [bad address]

and,   yes,  some of us   sometimes  analyzed the core file.



i  (vaguely) fantasized that someday   programming would be much more pleasant 
---------- and  that  programming language would be  something like  Common 
Lisp  with a more   Algol, Pascal (C) like syntax.


i've been using Python for 3,4 years and .............. 

                for the first  several weeks... whenever i used Python...  all 
i could think of....was   --------  this is really Lisp (inside) with  a thin 
veil of   Java/Pascal syntax..........

               -----  that  everything is  first converted  (macro-expanded)  
into (intermediated) Lisp code, and then.........
