Subject: Re: Rob Pike article From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 2000/06/14 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3169966050527478@naggum.no> * Craig Brozefsky <craig@red-bean.com> | Emacs Lisp is as modern as anyone who has ever put in the effort to | modernize it has been able to make it. Which is not very much. FWIW, it's a lot less modern than that. Several ridiculously simple improvements to Emacs Lisp have been turned down because they were deemed to be moving it in the direction of Common Lisp, when some folks behind Emacs have gone off and created this cretinous Scheme bastard called GUILE and want to base Emacs on it. Phooey! #:Erik -- If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.
