I believe it's older than that. There was a steady drumbeat of "Lisp is too slow to be usable" practically from the 1950s onward, and you can still find it in certain ignorant quarters. As a result, the Lisp/Scheme community acts like the traumatized victim of a bully. There are certain other language communities that do the same things or the same reasons. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org C'est la` pourtant que se livre le sens du dire, de ce que, s'y conjuguant le nyania qui bruit des sexes en compagnie, il supplee a ce qu'entre eux, de rapport nyait pas. --Jacques Lacan, "L'Etourdit" _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
