Without getting into a war, XMLisp is pretty neat. It works by extending the reader to work with XML natively. You get literally seamless integration of XML and Lisp, as in, they're both in the same file and there is nothing separating the two. And this is not something that can be ported to Clojure simply because Clojure doesn't permit user reader macros. <http://www.agentsheets.com/lisp/XMLisp/> I would have a hard time missing any other XML library from the Lisp world; in fact I don't want this one either, because it's so objecty, but I think it's important to maintain a sense of balance and respect. All of the CL libraries I tried worked. Getting everything installed and set up was the pain. — Daniel Lyons http://www.storytotell.org -- Tell It! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
