Conclusions: The LAML approach

An finally the conclusions based on or LAML work until now

  • In conclusion

    • Using LAML, the source of a WWW document is a program in Scheme

    • A functional programming language is much better for our purposes than an imperative programming language

    • Lisp can be used successfully as a markup language

    • There is a tradeoff between 'pains' (using Lisp syntax and handling errors) and 'gains' (abstraction and automation)

    • Homogeneous syntactic conventions for all future LAML document styles should be considered

    • Modern functional programming languages would push on the type system in order to ensure grammatical correctness

    • In the Lisp world flexibility and pragmatic solutions are more important than static type checking

I write all my WWW pages in LAML

Via definitions of appropriate document styles my own productivity is increasing
