Tim Goetze:
Would you care to back up this judgment by a few facts?
No, I don't. I don't want to start a flame-war... I just say
I know both languages very well. Its hard to explain (but
not impossible though) why scheme is a better language.
If you had known lisp well, you had probably known what I ment.
breathe deeply. think of snakes. say
"python".
Are you serious? Do you know python? I hope not...
I don`t want to start a flame-war over programming languages,
but I know both scheme and python very well, and would
never consider python as an extension language again. One has to consider that a scripting extension for an
application like
ardour, with an intended audience of little to no programming
knowledge, will have to be as painless and intuitive to learn and use
as possible and still provide power and freedom of expression to the
savvy.
In my opinion, scheme is such a language. It takes some time
to learn if you are not used to s-expressions though.
