And every bigot *does* have his/her own opinions, even though they may not be particularly well-informed. Whether you see its good and bad sides is irrelevant. > I don't shout "[my favorite language] �ber alles".

The problem here is that you refuse to believe that other people are disagreeing with you because you are wrong, not because they are biased in any way. Heck, I don't even like Lisp all that much (even if I prefer it to some languages that I've been forced to learn and use). > and obviously Lisp can't be it in all disciplines, nor does > any other language (because no language is perfect, also see my signature :). No one ever suggested that Lisp is perfect in any form. It's quite strange that you would perceive other people's arguments as being absolute. Or maybe not. Dan.
