I actually think C is easier to read (when I write C > and Elisp, I mean). Here is one example. This is a pretty straightforward implementation of an interface that shows open man pages according to the cache principle, only when you start typing (any other char than those presented as options), you get an ordinary type interface seamlessly. Still, the code gets immensely complicated and if any other person other than yours truly wrote that, I wouldn't understand one word. C isn't like that in my mind. screenshot: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/dumps/man.png source: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/man-my.el -- underground experts united
