The wonder of using screwed up languages is that they work at all. When Knuth produced TeX using Web, he offered $1 to anyone that could find a bug. And $2 for the second bug. And $4 for the third bug. AFAIK no more than 3 bugs were EVER found in TeX. With Felix compiler, I have had 50 or so bugs over a period in programs which turned out to be the program, the diagnostics, or the Felix library, only 5% of the bugs were in the compiler itself, and of course being Ocaml most of these were design bugs not programming errors. -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
