By that "logic" "BrainF*ck" should be even easier still, since it is even more homogeneous, with even less syntax. http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/ Here's "Hello World" in Brainf*ck: ++++++++++[>+++++++>++++++++++>+++>+<<<<-]>++.>+.+++++++ ..+++.>++.<<+++++++++++++++.>.+++.------.--------.>+.>. Actually, yes, it is "easier" syntax, if by easier you mean "easier for the compiler to parse". If you mean "easier for most human beings to read", then Lisp is easier than Brainf*ck and Python is easier than Lisp. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
