C/C++ is as high_level as the DLLs you add,
yet it's also as lean as you'd like it to be,
....and it has the longest and most prestigious track record.

I wouldn't know.

I spent this morning putting together my Eclipse environment with the
new WST ( Web Standard Tools ) plugin.

It's very elegant...makes VS seem like a porker.

Common Lisp's macro is much better than this.

Hi Googler, Re: The power of C/C++'s #define, and C#'s lack of it,

You told me: << Common Lisp's macro is much better than this. >>

Who uses Common Lisp ?

Can you give me an example of such a macro in action ?

There is a free book called "OnLisp", which is all about Lisp-styled
programming. You can download it here:

Oh right, I'm not going to read a fucking book dude,
all wanted was an example... an example you can't even produce.

Like I said... Who uses Common Lisp ?

ask people in comp.lang.lisp then. It's not widely used at all.
