He would have his 10 year LISP sink in, meditate for 10 days and start from scratch with a typical LISP approach. He would have his 10 year Algol68 sink in, meditate for 10 days and start from scratch with a typical Algol68 approach. (Scheme is not different enough from LISP, to make this interesting. Hey Scheme *is* a dialect of LISP.) He would have his 10 year Python sink in, meditate for 10 days and start from scratch with a typical Python approach. Maybe he would code "one to throw away". The outcome would be extremely interesting, but ... > >Bolega Groetjes Albert -- -- Albert van der Horst, UTRECHT,THE NETHERLANDS Economic growth -- being exponential -- ultimately falters. albert@spe&ar&c.xs4all.nl &=n http://home.hccnet.nl/a.w.m.van.der.horst
