Subject: Re: LISP feature comparability to Smalltalk?? From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1999/05/30 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3137032296419883@naggum.no> * atl <anonymous@web.remarq.com> | I'm fairly new to LISP. Blocks in Smalltalk(statement sequences enclosed | in square brackets) are very flexible. YOu must explicitly execute a | statement by sending the value message to the block. You can also assign | blocks to variables and pass them around. What LISP feature most closely | resembles Smalltalk blocks? lambda expressions, which are more powerful than blocks, of course, but also slightly more verbose unless you invent your own syntax, which is also trivial to do. #:Erik -- @1999-07-22T00:37:33Z -- pi billion seconds since the turn of the century
