There is no list….
These days, I’m studying artificial intelligence again (especially muliagents). For this, I want to learn LISP, a really nice programming language (wich can also be used as language for web pages). One main element of LISP are lists (LISP = List Processing Language). To understand, what we can do with lists, I’ve found this nice dialog:
Spoon Boy: Do not try and bend the list. That’s impossible. Instead . . .
only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon Boy: There is no list.
Neo: There is no list?
Spoon Boy: Then you’ll see that it is not the list that bends; it is only
yourself.
Spoon Boy wants to tell you, that you can do nearly everything with lists (ok, I think that is what he wants to tell)
