Hey all,
Just saw this over on LtU: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/936
Given all of the Scheme talk on this list lately, I thought you all
might have some interesting commentary on this guy's complaints.
Personally, I think his definition of "practical" might need some
work, but there are some interesting points in there.
The complaint about the lack of real-world architecture information
for Scheme apps rings true for me; its very easy to find tons of apps
to use as templates/reference/howtos for a wide array of languages
(C,C++,Java,Perl,Python,Ruby,VB,etc) but Scheme/CL are definitely
lacking in this area compared to their imperative brethren.
Finally, isn't this kind of concern what Arc
<http://paulgraham.com/arc.html> was supposed to address, at least in
part? It would be awesome if that was released at some point...
