Re: What language could be written "Matrix"

Do you think the matrix could be written in lisp?

Unfortunately the movie industry has made very little real progress in adopting formal methods, and movie scripts are often written in vaguely specified and ambiguous languages, instead of a formalized language with a mathematically defined semantics as would be optimal. There are also spurious complaints about dialogue being difficult for humans to understand if presented in prefix notation. Hopefully in a few decades we will begin to see more and more movies based on a sound mathematical and theoretical foundation.
