I am currently using XLISP in my AI class. I could get a copy of Amiga XLISP
from a friend, but I don't want it. If you guys think xlisp on a mainframe is
slow, you should see it on the amiga! Feels like having a Trash-80 with a
cassette tape drive again. I wrote a program to get the computer to play the
guessing part in mastermind in LISP. It only took 7 guesses or less, but
could take over an hour to run! With performance like that, you don't want
to do it on a micro, even an Amiga. Just debugging a MAJOR project could take
literaly years. It isn't worth it folks.
