Re: GNU and Lisp

      I can't imagin why someone would want to write a
    translator in scheme for example, but being able to interact with
    translators is far more plausible (setting translators on a node,
    removing, getting information about them, etc).

If it makes sense to write translators in Perl or Ruby, it makes
sense to write them in Scheme.  I only wonder whether it will run
fast enough to be useful.
