Any argument that elevates Lisp to the level of Axiom on whatever ground completely misses the whole point. Lisp, as any other assembly language in a high-level system, should be rarely be advertised. It is of interest only to those who want to go under the cover and dismantle the system -- there are very people of those. We may very well just have an Axiom Virtual Machine that does not require full Lisp power. Spad and the computational aspect is what we want to advertise. BTW, it would be great if either you or Alfredo can make a new Windows binary (from build-improvements or wh-sandbox, whichever builds). -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
