Re^2: On Line Book - Exploring Programming Language Architecture in Perl

You get to love scheme after a while. It's so simple. Not necessarily practical, but a thing of beauty :-)

If I have to choose(just for me) between common and scheme, clearly I'll pick scheme. That said, if we are talking production code and a many programmer setup, I'd probably pick common. Mostly I'd just as soon avoid picking. At the moment I'm writing my PGN parser code in newLISP--- and having more fun than should be legal. Will have to go back and change (update) my CPAN modules based on things I've learned in the comparison. Can't wait until I move on to common and scheme; I'm sure I'll find even more code for thought... --hsm "Never try to teach a pig to sing...it wastes your time and it annoys the pig."	[reply]
