We've implemented systems in ParcPlace ST80 V2.3; and we've implemented systems in Lucid Common Lisp, both on SUN 3/60, and still aren't sure which language to favour. Currently we consider reimplementing a prototype we developed in Lisp; the question is whether to do it in Lisp again or in Smalltalk (which would fit better into our general line). Has anybody out there implemented the same system in both languages and can tell anything about the performance (time, space etc.) of both versions? Thanks!
