It all depends on what you are doing. I recently tried implementing somthing I had working in Python into Pico Lisp. This is a program which needs to do three things
1) read A file & extract blocks of text from it. 2) submit the blocks of text (one at a time) to another commandline program 3) parse the output of the program and produce a summary report. I found this very frustrating to do in picolisp due to conflicing requirements, basically boiling down to how the language implements strings. I have to come down to the conclusion that implementing strings as sybmols was not a good design choice. I found myself moving freqently packing and unpacking my strings. depending on weather I wanted to print them or do somthing else to them. I really thing that the strings should have simply been implemented as lists of chars. 2008/7/4 Henrik Sarvell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
