In article <199507161947.MAA15572@rah.star-gate.com> you write: >I am not interested on started a language war but perharps by following >the Tcl vs... thread it can help us understand the current limitations >of tcl, guile, pearl, etc... or their strengths... [That's perl, no "a"] Yeh, I remember that discussion. I haven't seen anything to change my opinions, but more to the point I don't see what relevence it has to FreeBSD. What solutions does it provide that aren't already addressed by existing languages? What's its killer app? The ports tree already contains four Schemes (most of which are, and this is a Good Thing, smaller than Guile), Perl, Tcl, and so on and so forth. Yet another language... this time one covered by the Gnu Public Virus... is, well, just yet another language. If you want to excite *me*, come up with an embeddable Smalltalk.
