Lisp has been available since about 1956 and has periods of popularity, cf. the Scheme era in the late 1980s. However, Lisp never seems to make the mainstream, people always return to the Fortran/C/C++/Java style of language. I just wonder if Clojure will go the way of all previous Lisps, into relative obscurity. Or perhaps there is something about Clojure/JVM that will cause all Java programmers to switch to Clojure by choice? PS Presumably the same strictures as apply to Scala will have to be applied to Clojure. And Groovy, Jython, JRuby, BeanShell, etc. ;-) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
