Since we are talking about supposedly out-of-date languages , I should mention that LISP happens to be my fav :P Just for the record , how many other languages can boasts a whole system made just for the efficient use of the language ??? Of course , it could mean either the language is so good that they have got to have hardware dedicated to it or the language is so bad it can't be run properly on a normal hardware list the rest :P For those who are not lisp-aware , here is the wiki link for the historic LISP Machines , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_machine . Btw , AutoCAD and Emacs are both based on LISP entirely so its not just for AI. regards billy > > Have a nice day, > > Fabrice. > > -- > Fabrice A.
