Hi, going through Land of Lisp and I get to a part of the book where you define global variables. I realize that the author is trying to educate the students about this, but is there ever a good reason for globals in Lisp? In Java, C/C++, PHP, etc. it's frowned down upon at best. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
