With the LISP Generator, you will *finally* be able to take advantage of AutoCAD's..." I take that to mean one less use-case for Lisp. And a BIG ONE, more so than Emacs ever was. You don't need to learn Lisp nor hire some old Lisper. Just use the generator and hope you don't lose the high level source or else you're screwed with generated Lisp... :P and whatever happened with AutoCAD Visual Basic? Things going as bad in education as they go, perhaps some autogenerated VB too will be needed down the road... :P |
