Dear Ira Forman,

thanks for this link to your book, the table of contents promises interesting
applications. However, it is not clear from the preface what is the
relationship (main common points and differences) between what you propose
and what other people have already done in LISP or Smalltalk. You don't
specify either how your system is or isn't integrated with Java, and how
it compares to other reflective extensions to Java (OpenJava, MetaJ,
Guarana, etc).

God. Hence prophets and priests are the most impious men on earth. -- Faré
