Ok, Dave, I beg my pardon, but I think the initual intent of the thread

I don't want to start new senseless threads about using third generation

I was kidding.
Wait until you see my Struts/APL bridge code.
Although with regards to the "generation" of languages: I can still do things in Lisp that I can't do in any reasonable way using almost any non-Lisp language, and Lisp was right up there with the original languages. Interesting. But more modern languages are catching up, which is fun to watch. I find a lot of similarities to "modern" language ideas in Lisp, SmallTalk, etc.
Here's a joke: A friend recently stole the last 100 pages of a huge, proprietary Lisp program, but all he got was the closing parentheses.
