Gaby,
It would seem that we have similar thoughts on how Axiom can move
forward.
Though our approaches differ, I do look forward to future discussions
`over the fence'.
Take care,
Steve

Packages in Lisp are not just namespaces. They are objects (data)
with which one can compute with and manipulate. Of course, their

Hello Ralf,
The concept of a Lisp package does not translate into a SPAD or Aldor
package directly. As you know, a "package-call" in the latter case is
denoted by the $ operator. I fail to see the connection between the '
(or ::) operator in Boot/SPAD and any language concept such as SPAD
packag
I use the syntax FOO::BAR, but not FOO'BAR, for "package-call".
New Boot treats FOO'BAR as a "single" identifier.
Ok, a "package-call" is a Lisp concept. As far as I know neither Boot
nor SPAD admit the concept of a package.
I don't know much about Lisp and Boot, but Aldor defines what a pac

I stumbled upon a curious facility of Boot and SPAD this evening. I
do not recall, nor can I find, a reference to this in the list
archives or in any documentation. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The facility is w.r.t identifiers. An identifier such as FOO'BAR is
