So what happens when you need to create an application that performs many of these tasks? Do you start programing all the subsystems in many different languages, because it''s easier to perform those given tasks in those languages?

No, you choose the best general-purpose language for the application.

Instead of learning a new language everytime you encounter something your language doesn''t handle natively, why not spend a small amount of time overcoming this deficiency once, and reuse that code for every project from then on?

Because the features that I''m discussing are all available in Lisp.

quote:Could you ellaborate more on this language? A link maybe? I'm interesting in learning more.

the first thing you could do with learning is how to search the internet.

try google or if you don't like it use it to find another search engine that you do like.

lisp is a very mature language and there is stackloads of stuff just waiting for you to find it.

edit: changed from 'relatively' to 'very'
