>The one that kills me, every time I look at CL, is the lack of a real Boolean type. Maybe I'm nuts, but that really isn't acceptable in this century. There is a boolean type in CL. You can declare variables as boolean and they will be enforced to hold the T and NIL boolean values. >Maybe I'm nuts, but that really isn't acceptable in this century. Perhaps you haven't realized this: Booleans are all over the place in CL, they are first class: Any value is true in CL, except the NIL value, which is synonym with the empty list (). This sounds strange, but makes perfect sense in practice and makes writing code really easy.
