Give some input on this subject. Thanks.
I think the point is specifically that we don't want a high level language. No one wants to claim ultimate superiority in Lisp wars or Modula 2 wars; or given our recent thread Cobol wars. The whole point of core wars is the crudeness, that sense of getting down to the nitty gritty. If you can be clever in that context, you can count yourself clever.
