(→‎Lisp, BASIC: categorize for the working programmer)
Line 35: Line 35:


No actual programmer is going to be "writing a program in Lisp" — they're going to be writing it in <insert Lisp dialect here>. I think the examples should be categorized according to how a practicing programmer would identify the language they're working in. Therefore, there should be a "Common Lisp" example. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 08:23, 2 March 2008 (MST)

: Having the example listed under "Common Lisp" signals that it's specific to Common Lisp, which it isn't. Of course one could add identical examples for all Lisp dialects, but I don't think that would be a good idea. --[[User:Ce|Ce]] 09:03, 2 March 2008 (MST)
