We are currently considering XLISP/Winterp for use in a major internal
project.  It's role would be as an interpretted layer for many of our
software dev. and test automation tools.  It would be used for both
a tool command language (users could interact with their tools, and
build new tool commands - like emacs) and as a vehicle for
componentization of re-usable tool components (using XLISP objects).

Anyway, we are interested in hearing from everyone who has used
XLISP in any major projects.  Also we would like to hear opinions on
the plusses and minuses of using XLISP/Winterp for such an application.
We are especially interested in hearing some success stories with
large XLISP projects (to help us convince our senior people and more
skeptical groups of XLISP's feasability as a tool framework language).

Either drop me an e-mail note at:
   tims@bnr.ca
or post your responses for discussion.
