Hi!

I was wondering if anyone can recommend an engine which can be used from C rather than C++?

I would like to work in Lisp, and Lisp provides an interface to C (but not C++).

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Tony

C and C++ can interoperate, so I don't think there's any serious problem using Lisp and C++. I've never used Lisp so anyone correct me if I'm mistaken...

I think he means his LISP implementation can call functions in an external library with C calling convention - but it wouldn't work for C++ libraries unless he included mangled names in the LISP code.

Of course one could write a C adaptor for a C++ library without much trouble...
