Not my experience in the JVM-related community, and to an extent the Python community, at least in the UK. Head on collisions create debate, and get you remembered. The debate generally leads to change, even if not the change initially envisaged. At least the status quo gets perturbed. Just dealing with the fringes and solving their problems rarely get serious traction. cf. Golo, Gosu, Fantom, Crystal, Pony, all of which solve definite problems but none of which have any serious traction to move programming on. -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
