Just as Richard recently lamented the lower profile of the Unix pipes + processes programming model, I also note the post-modern tendency to re-invent square wheels or assume solid + stable means outdated. A good programmer should be willing to use multiple tools and languages, and that's not to say Ruby and Python and Lua and Haskell and others are without merit. But when I need something that covers embedded to desktop to web, and gives me a high level of productivity - well ... you know what my tool is :) But again, thanks Baruch for your comment. I'm sure you'll go far in your career if you maintain that awareness :) Steve _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
