Hi,

Personally, I haven't seen either. I was wondering if Lisp or Scheme can do
the things Java can do? It's no small feat to build a new language even if
Gosling has done it. Maybe Lisp is better suited to certain applications?
I'm a novice at programming Lisp so please excuse my questions.

One of the things I'm programming in Lisp is an agent that can work like 
Eliza and store like Boris Katz's START system. Would Katz's START system 
be workable through Java like it is through CL-HTTP? (Assuming you have 
tried the START system.)
