From what i understand, although Lisp is a cryptic language at first, it is supposedly easy to learn and is the language of choice for AI. Also, AutoCAD has used it for years for extending its system and allowing users to write extensions. I always thought it was pretty neat. Of all the scripting languages, is there a simple way to sum up the differences between Perl, TCL, and Python? And what is expectk? > >But I still think that emacs is quite a nifty system... Were it not >for 'screen', I'd probably still be coding up the odd bit of elisp. How do you use screen with emacs? I have screen instllled, but apparently i have missed its purpose. I think i just used it for something simple, then forgot about it. > > >-- Tim Jackson >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >please reply to: t i m . j @ f u n b o x . d e m o n . c o . u k >======================================================================== > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message > -=> jm <=- "Do not taunt the Happy Fun Ball."
