hi,

I've spent a considerable amount of time getting to grips with the
concepts of lisp and would say that by now I have a good theoretical
grasp of the language.

but, coming from an object oriented (C++ *brr*) background I am having
difficulties designing my programs to make full use of LISP functional
features. have any of you had similar problems when beginning to write
programs in LISP and how did you solve them?

I am simply having problems structuring my design around LISP instead
of just implementing a C++-design in LISP...

I know this is kind of a naive question to ask, but perhaps some of
you might have pointers as how to design for LISP (i.e. radical
bottom-up programming, ...)

thanks,

Johannes
