Subject: Re: ANN: NiCLOS Engineering Release now available From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1999/05/06 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3134943930910275@naggum.no> * Kelly Murray <kem@IntelliMarket.Com> | If you mean to say a "real" language needs all of Common Lisp, then you | must not consider "C" or "Scheme" or "Dylan" to be a "real" language | because they don't have all this stuff that CL has. I think you have answered your own question (why are there third-party tools vendors for other languages, but not Common Lisp?): the other languagages are in fact seriously incomplete without third-party tools vendors. #:Erik
