In practice I suspect not so much for most code people write rather than code people *could* write. Having looked at significant amounts of code written for machines which have press releases when they get installed, it's often not all that. That's not saying people *can't* do better in languages which can cast: just that most of the time they don't. --tim _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
