Exactly. And I can't exagerate on this. I had in mind only to achieve
the Koch curve. I only thought as a possible *future* *extension* the
ability to draw the famous kornflake. But then... I just *saw* that the
original code could achieve both with no changes... and then more! It
was very exciting. For a moment, I felt more like a 'discoverer' than a
programmer (well, in fact, I'm not a programmer either; just a hobbist.
But I love this). And I sincerely feel that this was posible due to the
'lisp way of thinking'. I mean... lisp is making me think in a
different way, and code in a different way. I used to code in java a
lot, and I'm sure I would never get such an elegant and general
solution to this problem. So I would say that, at least in my case,
lisp is better not just for its own strenght (which I'm barely
beginning to touch), but for the way it's making me think about
algorithms. Don't get me wrong either: I still like java, but...men:
lisp is *another* thing... ;)

LOL! :)

Thank you!!!!
