I am sure you can write good programs. I do not have time to
check mace.bundle though. My point was before you dismiss
Knuth's work, please read MMIX, Stanford Graphbase, and many
others using LP. From what I know, you have been in programming
for a long time, but if you have not already checked out his
work and books, it may be a new beginning for you.
Thank you,
