Hi, I thought I'd whine a bit about the Developers' Handbook. Section 5.3.2, specifically. Lisp isn't a strictly interpreted language. The various Lisps supported interpreted code, but most real programs are compiled. Sorry if you already knew this, but it seems a lot of people think Lisp is strictly interpreted. Also, I don't think Gnu Common Lisp is the best free Lisp out there. CMU Common Lisp, which is also in FreeBSD-ports, is supposed to be the best of the free ones. (I haven't really tried GNU CL, but I've heard of its shortcomings.) Oh, and the literature-section at the end of the chapter should mention "Ansi Common Lisp" by Paul Graham, I think. (Prentice Hall; ISBN 0133708756, 432 pages. 1 edition, November 2, 1995.) -- johs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
