Re: Why I love Common Lisp : power! power! power!

So, to summarize, I love CL, especially since my daily work is Perl
(it's the syntax I hate, Perl is almost as powerful as CL, but it has
more libraries and better OS interaction), and CL really IS very
powerful. Just use it, and ask for support on comp.lang.lisp.

Jurgen

As a perl programmer learning lisp. I find your story inspirational.

Thanks,
