OTOH being a great hacker/implementer vs. a great language designer, requires a very different set of skills. One could almost argue that, for mass adoption, a language can NOT first and foremost appeal to the elite. That's kind of what I hear Reinier say, and if that's the case, I sorta agree with him. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
