I've seen publicity on the net for MacIntosh Common Lisp v. 2.0B1 (the successor to Allegro CL), which emphasizes even more than previous PR the virtues of their program as a development environment for stand-alone Mac applications. So my question is: has anyone out there actually written commercial or semi-commercial applications using Mac Allegro Cl? I'd be interested in any war stories from such efforts, either by email or posted if it seems of general interest. Thanks, Tim Converse P.S. I'm _not_ particularly interested in starting a "which language is better?" flame war, so responses of the form "I've never programmed in Lisp, but why not just use 'cause it can do everything Lisp can do and faster too!" are discouraged. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Converse U. of Chicago AI Lab converse@cs.uchicago.edu (312) 702-8584
