Re: Coding
I do not anymore. But lisp is the forerunner of all the CAS.

Re: Coding
And what is it that Lisp has to be the base of all CAS?

Because it was the first language that was written for AI. A CAS can be thought of as an expert system ( one of AI's triumphs ).

Re: Coding
It's a good thing Lisp doesn't use a lot parenthesis. Programs would get messy otherwise...

Re: Coding
Hi Agnishom;
Yes, I was waiting for him to say that. The syntax of many languages is the hardest part for me.
He did not really go mad. He went on to be an administrator of a math forum.

Re: Coding
Hi;
I feel sorry for you
Do not be, I was not seriously upset about it back then. I enjoyed writing it and that was good enough.
It was burned along with all my work when I was young.

Re: Coding
Burned? If you were not upset, then why burn? Other works, Did you burn them too?
I mean intentionally or unintentionally?

They were burned in a fire that was not my doing. I remember watching as the building I lived in burned down and feeling almost relieved.
Later on, for three days I rummaged through the ashes to salvage my stuff.
