Lisp for the C21
QUOTE Python has readable syntax, a huge library, and bindings for what seems like every major in linux. Perl has CPAN. It seems with those languages if you want to do something all you have to do is import functionality from a library someone had written and use that. In lisp you'd have to roll your own. Why should I keep on learning lisp when there are python and perl? UNQUOTE I can see where this guy is coming from (though I can't find the original post any more (?)). See my remarks on the Lisp for the Twenty First Century http://www.lambdassociates.org/lC21.htm for our take on this one. Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
