Man the question you posed above is a tough one to answer. For example, most will agree Python does faster development than C or (assembly!). OTOH, suppose we were talking to someone who had done C for the last 20 years and vaguely learned Python last week. Which language would he build various things in faster?....Are you sure? :) Now back to Lisp.....suppose I spend next 20 years learning Python cold and in 2027 I finally arrive at a problem that *begs* for Lisp. Which language will be fastest *for me* ?? Not an easy question is it? :) Chris -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
