Hopefully not. In _Hackers and Painters_ Paul Graham argued against learning Lisp because it's "cool". He cited ESR's discussion of Lisp as a interesting toy, and rebutted that one should learn Lisp because it's *useful*, and it provides real results. Just a funny coincidence that you phrased your statement like you did. -todd -- KPLUG-List mailing list [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
