Subject: Re: PART TWO: winning industrial-use of lisp: Re: Norvig's latest paper on Lisp From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.net> Date: Sat, 22 Jun 2002 01:24:14 GMT Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3233697854039566@naggum.net> * Kenny Tilton <ktilton@nyc.rr.com> | "Lisp programmers do not want a compiler telling them what they can or | cannot do." "Lisp programmers want to instruct the compiler what it can and cannot do, not vice versa." | I think that is why them/they "feels good" to me when for some reason a | simple rewrite like that won't do. I think I shall have to scratch third person personal pronouns entirely. Eller enda bedre, jeg kan bare skrive på norsk, så slipper vi alt tullet. -- Guide to non-spammers: If you want to send me a business proposal, please be specific and do not put "business proposal" in the Subject header.
