- LISP is VERY quick&easy to interpret, true. However, the language is
- designed with the target of being easily implemented instead of easily
- used...
-
- I urge developers to use another more user oriented script language like
- ARexx or FPL for any application-internal script programming.

- PS. No kick at the already implemented LISP works. I -LOVE- GNU Emacs, but I
- know a lot of people who refuse to use it because "the script language is
- so weird". We don't want that with new Amiga applications, do we?
