in brief it means that is impossible to define the scope for a function or variable. so if a function or variable has the same name across the running instance, it will clash. one has in fact to use prefixes or suffixes to distinguish. its quite self-defeating for Emacs at this stage of development, but we can live with it. I agree with Robert the multi-lang support is very important and very well implemented in Emacs. Since many years all my work depends from Emacs. I've had the chance to offer a dinner to RMS for my gratitude for Emacs and I'll do that with any other Emacs developer I'll meet in my life. Now I wonder if the above will be repeated by someone with s/Emacs/systemd/ in some future. maybe its all relative and we are all fanatics in the eyes of Vim users :^))) ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
