I meant them to be kept, and not deleted. And big projects sometimes are made of sub-systems that are isolated enough to be sometimes useful alone. >That would go well with Python being interpreted, and "an easy" language.< To me now Python3 looks less simple than Java. It has now lot of features. ---------------- Steve Teale: >All should bear in mind that unless this is just intellectual wanking we need >to get this language stabilized.< It will stabilize once it's appropriately dead and buried. Even Fortran and C aren't "stabilized" yet, see Fortran 2008 and C1x: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortran#Fortran_2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99#Future_standards_directions Here I have seen more than once people talk about D3 and its possible AST macros ;-) Bye, bearophile
