well, one does have to ask why there is no standard library which does all of the things i can easily do in java, like sockets, windows, threads, sql, on every CL platform. why isn't there a lisp copy of the functionality in a standard loadable format? how hard would it be to copy the existing functions?
on the other hand axiom has about a million lines of lisp code and a few thousand lines of C code and the C code is the part that we can't make work cross-platform. the lisp code "just works". of course we need the C code to access sockets and open windows. sigh. t _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
