It was well said that when we learn lisp we all start thinking things like that. ;) As to what theo said about interfaces, of course it is correct, but on the other hand (as a design tool) doesn't Hal Abelman on the SICP lectures say, that it is a powerfull techinique to be able to create interfaces that you forget everything about them afterwards? He goes on to demonstrate...
In my mind the thing boils down to this: in the PC as it is structured (HW-wise) you can't impose functional programming (at least in an elegant/meaningfull way). But if you consider as specially built arch for executing LISP code as the Connection Machine (from thinking machines) then it could get interesting ;) and yes sorry for talking and not working on clisp :( DsP On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 6:38 AM, Super Biscuit <super_bisq...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I know neither C(++), or LISP, or PERL, or python or any other language. > > I've worked on VirtualBox porting to FreeBSD. > I am working on GNOME3 on FreeBSD for ppc and sparc64 in my spare time. > > No lisp, no c, no other language .
