What does Common Lisp have that the Turing Machine does not have? As you said yourself, let us stop being silly, Lisp is just a hype because McCarthy could not stand Turing having invented a programming language first. Hopefully this helps a lot!!!!!! BTW I rather share Ken's point of view. R. -- There are some people who begin the Zoo at the beginning, called WAYIN, and walk as quickly as they can past every cage until they get to the one called WAYOUT, but the nicest people go straight to the animal they love the most, and stay there. ~ A.A.
