Well, yeah. Kind of like the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. My guess is though he found the compiler and strong typing way too fussy and has been moving on looking for something "more developer friendly" - I hear two autistic schizophrenics in the mountains of Baluchistan are developing a new language that doesn't even require a platform. Moving, moving, moving. Is this what they mean by "mobile application development"? I hear that's the future <bg>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
