:: I believe that that is an OS issue. Hypothetically speaking: a shared library that defines a "main()" routine, can be treated as an executable. However if the OS requires something else (like: let's say there is a bit you set: when this bit is set you have an executable, when this bit is cleared you have a shared library), then you need a separate file (so that that bit can be set to different values for each of the two purposes). (With Python, the interpreter itself can serve to make this distinction -- in this case it is the "extra 'trivial program'" (or perhaps not-so-trivial program) that you need to make this work.) --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 17:24, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 
::: So far it seems there are a lot of examples with no clear definition of what they are about. To require the presence of a compiler for these examples in statically compiled languages is irregular, as most run-time environments for compiled languages do not have the compiler or the source present.
:::The task seems to be a way to get RC as the second place that mentions the page title as well as [http://speely.wordpress.com/2010/11/27/writing-scripts-with-common-lisp/ one blog entry] all from the same person, without enough thought on what ideas are to come under the title.
::: Mcandre needs to answer some more of the points put to him on the purpose of the task - maybe by answering all the questions and suggestions on this talk page).
 
:::I guess I am against what looks like one persons attempt to popularize their own nebulous idea through RC. Is this a different kind of spam? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:34, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
