[Edu-sig] OnLisp

[Dethe Elza]

You're quite welcome.  I'm learning Squeak (Smalltalk) right now to 
improve my Python skills, some flavor of functional programming is next 
on the list.

I just started reading "The Pragmatic Programmer" (a really great book 
so far--highly recommended) and one of the first challenges in chapter 
one is to learn another language -- and Squeak is given as an example.  
Interestingly enough I'd just finished installing Squeak to help me 
review the book "Squeak: A Quick Trip to ObjectLand," co-authored by my 
buddy Doug Dechow (review coming soon).

Sometimes I really like the way the world works.  %-)

Happy Baba Marta (Bulgarian March First holiday)!
