(I.e. more elaborate than parens and prefix notation.) One part of me thinks that maybe this is ... peter14 (674)

What's more idiomatic? 29 33 (10/20/2005 7:23:26 AM) comp.lang.lisp Performance issues aside, which one of these expressions is more idiomatic in Common Lisp? (mapcar #'foo (mapcar #'bar list)) (mapcar #'(lambda (i) (foo (bar i))) list) Ari. -- Elections only count as free... ari (61)

Python and Lisp Test 86 28 (12/28/2005 4:10:24 AM) comp.lang.lisp This is not a scientific test of any kind and I'm not an expert on either Python or Lisp. Having said that, I was interested in getting an idea about the relative performance of each language when computing th... johnm1 (14)
