Hi Jonathan. This isn't the first time I've seen discussion of LISP as a good example of a declarative language, with relevance to XSL. Can anybody recommend some good primer material on the Net? I'm not interested in learning LISP for application development, just to see what I might learn about declarative models in general, and specifically how it relates to XSL. Something discussing LISP methodologies as they might differ from traditional imperative methodologies would be ideal. Thanks for any pointers. Cheers Guy. xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on 03/09/99 08:19:02 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: (bcc: Guy Murphy/UK/MAID) Subject: xsl:lambda was RE: W3C-transformation language petition [SNIP] my first inclination was to suggest that a free Java DSSSL/Scheme implementation might do for client side transformations what XSL does (or might do) and more... ...but when you think about it, this might not be true... HTML is alot closer to XML than Lisp in its syntax and HTML remains the most important output format if we are concerned about client side applications. what I am interested in doing is employing XSL as a client application 'language' for browser based client apps. So, what I need for XSL is to grow into something akin to an XML based Scheme. It already has a cons and car and cdr and eq. XSL needs a lambda and defun and recursion. That's the stuff that ought be between <xsl:eval> rather than Javascript.
