The language is lisp!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Going back to my hole now.

Take care,
Sina

Grin I love Clisp I especially love putting in 500 ('s and 500 )'s just to
print hello world.  But seriously Clisp is an awesome language for so many
things.

Hi,
   This discussion is getting crazy. Each and everyone of us love certain
languages, and we'll do whatever it takes to use them. I'm having problems
with clisp, but I like it so much I'm willing to deal with those issues.
Please just let everyone have their opinions without criticising them in a
non constructive manner..

Happy Holidays

Steve D.

I think we're fighting a lost cause. teddy is like teaching an old dog
tricks. He is either jusg going to sit here and argue for no apparent
reason, or we can let him keep his beliefs, as his messages seem to be a
repete of the last one. He isn't hurting anyone but himself in his attempt
to close off everything but a few languages.


Thanks,

If python wouldn't have this issue of indentation, it wouldn't need
workarounds for making it a little bit friendlier.
So I don't understand what you don't like when I said that python is less

friendly for the blind than other languages.

This doesn't mean that python can't be used by a blind programmer, but
what I said was that other languages are more friendly. Don't you agree
that they are more friendly than python?

But by the way, why would be python very useful?
I would really like to hear that. I mean, what it would be useful to, not

the fact that it has a strong OOP support.

Given his additions of Py-Dent and Py-Brace to EdSharp, I think it's
fairly evident that Jamal considers Python a very viable choice,
although my personal preference is just to manage the indentation raw.
Really, Teddy, you're closing yourself off from a very useful language
if you let some of these extremely semantic sticking points get in the
way.
