- I've got a copy of a paper by Richard Waters (at mit) describing a system
- for writing loops in lisp (and other languages). Basically you describe the
- loop in functional programming terms (similar to Backus's FP, or apl) and
- the LetS package converts it into an iterative form for efficient execution
- in lisp.
- We don't have the LetS code here to play with, and we probably won't be
- able to get it for a while since our arpanet connection is hopelessly
- clogged for anything but tiny messages. However you might be interested in
- stopping by my office and looking at the paper.
