- kazinator 2y agoSustained standardization mostly harms/ruins programming languages. That said, it would be good to see a Common Lisp standard which cleans up outstanding issues (like whether, when an exit point for a dynamic control transfer is chosen, are the inner exit points below it torn down before the transfer takes place, or tear-down-as-you-go?) And also standardize some common practices. A standard way to include special characters in strings would be nice. The C-like escapes perhaps: \n newline, \u123F for unicode and whatever.
- lispm 2y agoI totally agree.
