(or systems, or whatever your favorite term is). Common Lisp (usually with CLOS) is heavily used by my research group, and is used by at least two others. This doesnt include the AI groups here, but I'm pretty sure they use a mix of CL and Prolog. We used to do all our programming in C, and have now switched almost exclusively to Lisp, using C as a portable assembler when the need is dire. We used to use AKCL+PCL, then switched to Allegro CL+PCL, now using that and Allegro CL 4.0, which included CLOS. Of course this is just one datum, but there it is. -- Simon -- Simon Kaplan kaplan@cs.uiuc.edu Department of Computer Science uiucdcs!kaplan@uunet.uu.net University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1304 W.
