[comp.lang.lisp] What A Coincidence

shebs@utah-orion.UUCP (Stanley T. Shebs) (11/18/87)

If you had any interest in the recent discussion of Lisp environments, check
out the latest issue of IEEE Computer, which has some outstanding articles
on programming environments.  Coverage of Lisp systems is rather light; they
are classified as "language-centered" environments and not much discussed.
(Exercise for the reader:  decide whether this is because of biased attitudes
or because the non-Lisp environments are more sophisticated/interesting.)
In any case, the material is worth reading and pondering...

The language-oriented issues are to some extent shunted off to the IEEE
software companion issue which has a fine paper on Genera, the symbolics
environment.
