Interesting paper.
When I look at the outputs, I think "this looks like a very simple homework assignment". If they had provided sample input, as well as sample output, I'd be able to test my belief. I imagine I can produce functionally-equivalent Python code in a few hours (note: Python was not a reasonable option in 1993).
In any case, this is a test in prototyping, with guidance of "5 person-days of effort"), so you would certainly expect languages like C++ and Ada to fail spectacularly.
- taeric 13y agoIt was interesting to read about how bloody fast the lisp implementation was written. That seems insanely fast. Presumably the author was one heck of a specialist in the field. And... it is notable that with such a lower amount of documentation, it still did not score much worse than the Haskel solutions did. (I really need to learn lisp well.... Also, be in a place I could use it.)
