- Sorry about the blank notes, I'm having a few problems with my
- news server.
-
- I am interested in 1) writing some prototype/experimental
- stand-alone programs, such as init's, cdev's etc...
- and 2) prototyping new modules within
- my existing large C++ programs .
- Since these are prototypes, I'm more concerned about
- minimizing my development time than I am with
- time or memory efficiency. Thus I would like to use
- a dynamic language such as Lisp, with it's automatic
- garbage collection and incremental compilation
- abilities.
-
- I've tried contacting (by phone message) the developers
- of MacScheme, but have received no replies.
-
- The current Macintosh Lisp implementations I know
- about all require an application environment in which
- to run. While this won't work for wish #1 above,
- it might work for wish #2 IF I can do an application
- context switch between my program and the Lisp
- environment, combined with some foriegn function
- library.
-
- Any replies to #1 or #2 above posted to this group
- would be appreciated.
