i don't think either python nor lisp are the final word in rapid prototyping. at least one university teacher i know is advocating the use of pike to prototype in java classes. since pike and java share the same base syntax he believes that this will help people learn programming because pike is a lot easier to learn for the beginner, and then transition to java is rather smooth. the same would go for c of course once you are really into using pike, why would you still want to use java? ;-) greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
