I confess that I turned this on for an hour this morning, and don't really think it was worth the time. I would sum it up for Ken as: Wouldn't interoperation be great if we all used the same language, like mathematicians do? Such a language would have to be really good, with features XYZ [no particular motivation for why all these features are good]. I can't think of any other features we could possibly want, either, because we seem to have already had all the interesting ideas in language design. Look, Clojure has all of these features! It might be a good start towards language standardization. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
