That's a common mentality among the Java crowd - for some reason interoperability is not seen as particular important (look at the hoops you have to go through to do anything beyond what the platform provides). I don't necessarily see a problem with both aiming for platform interoperability and advancing the language. In fact, Fan is interesting to me exactly because it's influenced by a broad spectrum and the role is could play as a facilitator. /Casper --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
