Lua's tables go further in a few respects. one is that anything can be a key, including other objects, which makes certain things much easier another is Lua's metatable system, which lets you specify the behavior of the table under various

though in that direction, studying law and especially rhetoric (under communication) would be much better

that's still more data than just saving the seed. though maybe he was talking about saving basic things (seed,etc) and when you want to reconstruct them into audio, you basically generate a program instead of an mp3. not really much diffe

i never really touched lisp until Arc. i knew lisp was the language i wanted to be programming in, but common lisp feels mainframey and scheme has an ivory-tower anal aura about it once Arc gets its own independent implementation i will pr
