I appreciate the amount of effort you made in replying to my email.
Most of your questions would be answered if you read the documentation
on my site. The last time I looked, LISP had no built-in database.
Has this changed recently? Does it still use that idiotic prefix
notation? My internal byte code uses just such a system but it is
meant for a computer to read not a human.
I read your site. Lisp does not need a built in database if it can use
existing databases. There is Allegro Cache. The syntax is not at all
"idiotic". It is a simple, yet packs incredible power. It is what
enables data is code and code is data. It is a large part of why Lisp
is the premier language for creating DSLs and is the language the
majority of new language features were first invented and tested in.
But that you simply call it "idiotic" probably means it is not
worthwhile to attempt to convince you.
I built my first PC in 1976. In 1985 I created a persistent distributed
OO development platform. Do you really want this kind of contest or do
your points stand or fall on their own?
