I'm guessing (I could be wrong of course) that you're not old enough to remember the days before interactive computing. People used to have to debug with both hands tied behind their back, effectively -- there wasn't a keyboard for them to /use/ their hands on. Lisp pioneered interactive program development; it wouldn't surprise me if 1000 years from now it is remembered more for that than for lambda, even. Of course you should be able to do edit/compile/run cycles also. But the "tinkering" style of programming is important too! (Grownups call it "prototyping" but it's really tinkering. A/k/a hacking.) _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
