Time for my semi-annaul "Is there a LISP yet?" query. Anyone know of a good LISP for the Amiga? How about a reworking of the MetaComCo LISP to include some Amiga specific hooks? They apparently did that for the ST. I'll probably call Monday and find out, if I remember it. From the above, you might conclude that MetaComCo's offering is not up to snuff. You'd be correct. It's still marginally better than XLISP, so you might as well not bother mentioning it. Unless you've got something significantly better than what's on the Fish disks, that is. I've noticed that Scheme has appeared on both the MAC and the IBM toys. Is anyone working on a Scheme port to the Amiga? Anyone interested in one should I start on it? Better yet, you interested in helping with one? Anyone got a language which might be useable for AI/LISP-like things (building small languages, fooling around with expert systems, playing with English, symbolic algebra, etc) on the Amiga? Interpreters or incremental compilers only, please. Specifically, anyone want to comment on the Little Smalltalk for these types of things? Thanx, <mike

I know of a person who works at NOSC who stated that he was developing scheme for the amiga, don't know how far he is though... John 7OHN
