Anyone care to comment? I'm aware of the main advantages of S-Expr syntax, but I thought that the argument for Dylan was that its macro system allowed the most common and useful applications of Lisp macros without requiring such a controversial syntax. How do you see Goo vis-a-vis Dylan? Do you see it as a competitor to Dylan or more of a complement? --=20 Miles Egan <[email protected]> --=-OFFQeh/+4+tahzRlh49B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+nr99U4Jq/wH1PVERAsRoAJ9Pp52Tbvdp0L/zF65KqwJPmLHVlACg3pxJ LHAjeEPvIte69P/akvMoil0= =PC75 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-OFFQeh/+4+tahzRlh49B--
