I don't know if that was part of the inspiration or not - I don't recall Rational themselves selling LISP. It was really just a way to speed up the whole compile-link-debug cycle. It was only a relatively short-lived product - I suppose since the speed of Turbo-C provided much of the same benefit.
- anthk 3y agoA LISP 'repl' environment (read-eval-print-loop) works exactly like that. Stop on an error, fix it, continue like nothing. Unix and C where designed to fault/abort fast on errors, and showing no output on good behaviour.
