It's the combination of unrestricted mutation and unrestricted sharing that's poison. In C++, Java, C#, we are in a world where people are free to ignore all traffic lights except for the subset that they have individually agreed to pay attention to. Crashes are, naturally, frequent. In Scheme we already have, for better and worse, the unrestricted mutation. If we get into unrestricted sharing as well, Cthulhu help us, for we shall be eaten next to last. -- The experiences of the past show John Cowan that there has always been a discrepancy [email protected] between plans and performance. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --Emperor Hirohito, August 1945 _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
