Subject: Re: How to get a wider audience for CL From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 29 Aug 2002 20:24:01 +0000 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3239641441971834@naggum.no> * Friedrich Dominicus | I fully agree, just it's not what I found in lang.c groups. Well the | regulars know and act accordingly but the questions which are definitly out | of bound are the majority. This is not surprising. People are not taught to go read the specification when they program C because so many things are explicitly implementation- dependent that you basically cannot do very much if you write only to the specification of C. There was not even consistency requirements among the multiple implementation-dependencies in C-1989, but I seem to recall that there are in the integrity amendment and in C-1999. -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
