Come on Ken, you really can't just blow off Frank's experience like
that can you? I read somewhere (I think related to Lisp, can't find
the linky now) where the author basically said "If a programmer can't
get a library doing...

We were talking about the doc, right?

Sigh. I thought we were talking about how difficult Cells is to use,
but at this stage I don't really know or care. I'm pointing out why I
think Cells isn't being picked up by the Lisp community in the way
you'd like it to be. Personally, I really want to use Cells in a
future project - which is why I looked at it 3 months ago. I didn't
get hooked, it was too hard to get traction.
When I start my future project I'll probably look at Cells again, if I
am feeling particularly manly I might even spend more than ten minutes
trying to get it to work. But probably not, and from your willingness
to change the learning curve of Cells I suspect I will give it a miss
next time I try it. I'd love to see you prove me wrong :)
