Ralf,

It looks like there are a lot of interesting ideas in the Fortress
language although this talk was given in Jan 2008 and I get the
impression that things have gone quiet on that project (even before
the Oracle takeover).

What I heard on that talk was that, as a matter of policy, they do not
support operator overloading and they only use operators for
traditional mathematical operations.

What I take that to mean, although I may have misunderstood, is that
infix operators can only be used for built-in types? That looks fine
for a scientific programming language like Fortress but is it really
practical for a CAS?

Martin
