Even within combinator languages, I am not always sure whether those reporting on the paper are aware how much the DSL gains by being embedded in a full functional language, and how simply exporting the core DSL to another context would severe all those useful connections.

Heh, this is something that I ran into when trying to write a combinator language for Java based on Haskore. I gave up when I realized i really needed those other features of a functinal language to :). It is a bit difficult in many domains to seperate what you are defining from the language you are defining it in, so I guess this is not such a large suprise. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
