IIRC, the first version of Mark's toolkit was written in Lisp. So
|
|
probably with today's abundance in Lisp like languages, he would have
|
|
picked one and write it in Lisp.
|
|
|
|
The OP also asked whether it would have been more stateless. Well,
|
|
given the criticism that Mark exercised on how students do not learn
|
|
how to maintain state in their programs, it seems to me that he would
|
|
have gone stateless. He would have been Mark if he did.
