I fully agree there...
Another thing which pops to my mind is the inability to access the global Jolt
namespace from within a (let).
For example, I class names in our *j language implementations should obviously
be global names. However, the following won't work:
(let ()
...
(define foo bar))
(define) only works if used at global scope. This led me to actually use the
global Pepsi namespace instead, which is clumsy, since it involves an
(export) and (import) all the time...
Cheers,
Hans
