Message: [QUOTE="RG, post: 4872185"] So? I was responding to a claim you made about Lisp. Not from that paper in isolation. But I cited that paper within a conversational context. Do I need to review it for you? That is completely beside the point. The relevant part of the paper is section 2.3. It has nothing to do with Promela. I didn't say it was conclusive, I said it was a data point. But FWIW, there are sound theoretical reasons to believe that Lisp programs are easier to debug than Perl programs, mainly because Lisp has a REPL and Perl (normally) does not. But I really don't feel like arguing about this. If you think it's easier to debug Perl than Lisp then go for it. rg [/QUOTE]
