Subject: Re: Little doubts with "if" clause From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.net> Date: Sun, 02 Dec 2001 20:24:02 GMT Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3216313441420574@naggum.net> * Ed L Cashin | I get the impression that while the language itself will have less | baked into it, there will be repositories ("huge libraries") of code | for the user to take advantage of. --Like perl's CPAN. My impression of the CPAN is that it is a whole bunch of code of very dubious and uncertain quality, and not at all what I would want to base anything on in a real project. It is fine for the kinds of things that Perl is used for. Why anyone would want a piece of that market eludes me. Perl should reign supreme in that corner and not cause anything else to be polluted by its mind-set. /// -- The past is not more important than the future, despite what your culture has taught you.
