I'm not sure that is what is implied. I share Tim's view that if this stuff has to be done not directly within the compiler but by translating to an intermediate language, then I think Lisp is a better choice. However, I would see the interface to be typed. That does not preclude the use of Lisp as an intermediate representation. | I have no access to the LISP output at runtime of my program. I suspect part of the suggestion is to have Aldor use Lisp as an intermediate representation language. Ideally, I would prefer to see a Lisp-like language but with a more expressive type system. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
