Subject: Re: Why lisp failed in the marketplace From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1997/03/05 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp,comp.lang.scheme Message-ID: <3066588599082020@naggum.no> * Mike McDonald | Remember, this was in one of those silly "Introduction to AI" classes. | Running Eliza in batch mode isn't very exciting. Now that I'm more | knowledgable about lisp, I can see where it's useful even in batch | mode. But I couldn't back then as a first introduction. I wonder if the purported failure in the marketplace is due _only_ to bad first introductions and resulting prejudice. once people get over their first introductions (or the bad (formal) introductions aren't their first), they seem to stay with Lisp. #\Erik -- if you think big enough, you never have to do it
