All Mozilla products. I don't think anybody can seriously think that Javascript performance can ever beat what CMUCL/SBCL can do to Lisp code that is declared through and doesn't use CLOS (plus assorted other techniques). And even if so, if a certain somebody would finish the LLVM backend for SBCL then it's easy picking :-) Martin -- Martin Cracauer, Programmer, ITA Software Inc, 617-714-2130 _______________________________________________ pro mailing list [email protected] http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pro
