OK, but, well, if I understand it right, D is an extension of C (a "re-engineering of C++" as Wikipedia puts it). As such, it directly supports the C ABI, and thus doesn't really count. More important: - Though it may indeed be _simple_, it is probably not as _powerful_ as the PicoLisp native function. For example, can we call a C function interactively (from the REPL or command line) in D? - Don't we need declarations and include files (like we need them in C), as D is also a compiled language? In PicoLisp you can refer to a C function in your code even before that library is installed or built. Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
