I have learned about Lisp in school but that was one of the languages I was sure I would never use in a real project. Maybe it is my kind of thinking or just a personal preference but I really don't like that functional stuff. I find it less readable and have a few other complaints I can hardly put into words. Maybe I should give such a language really a try. But it is not that I didn't look at them at all. -- Martin Wildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
