In a technical sense, it's a lousy target. As engineers, working to align the economics and politics with the technology is our job. Some (unspecified) thing in the space of lisp dialects is probably a better UIL than JVM bytecodes. -t _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
