Line 99: Therefore, if it's okay with you people I'd like to add a section on Lisp families because they treat self-modifying code in a unique way. [[User:Rajakhr\|Rajakhr]] ([[User talk:Rajakhr\|talk]]) 22:23, 23 January 2010 (UTC) :Interpreted languages generally have (or could have) self-modification arrangements though these are usually via some special form or modification of the disc file containing the statements. An "eval" statement is a step further away from self modification. But Snobol contains features that could be regarded as self-modification (as during pattern matches), and also contains its source statements as a text array open to manipulation. So it is not just Lisp. If you prepare some examples, explanations will be needed for non-Lispers. But would they introduce a new idea? Such as demonstrating some desirable action by routine use of self-modification? [[User:NickyMcLean\|NickyMcLean]] ([[User talk:NickyMcLean\|talk]]) 20:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
