Samantha, you need to provide me with references if you want me to believe this. No LISP compiler has ever been optimized to any serious degree AFAIK.
Allegro LISP has been pretty well optimized...
The nature of the language makes it difficult to write efficient code in the first place. And I suspect that these "many problem domains" don't include any that involve numeric calculations.
Number crunching is not slow in Allegro LISP, as I recall. Multithreading is not as efficient as in C++, nor object serialization ... and garbage collection is really good for an automated GC (way better than Java), but not as good as C++ where you can customize GC for each application... -- Ben ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
