> Aren't you basically reinventing Prolog or one of its variants? The notion of code in a database where the code modifies itself as part of the data management is fundamental to Prolog. How is this different?
.
At the most fundamental level, the difference is the method used to
represent things. LISP uses linked lists that can be nested. My
LISP-like interface (in early stages of dev) uses a more general data
model whose flexibility can not be achieved by linked-lists. This
flexibility comes at the cost of complexity/memory size/processing time
making it less efficient within the useful scope of LISP. I don't know
Prolog's data model so I can't comment.
