On interpretation might be that Google is so big and has so little management reporting that works, that until the languages are announced no-one in Google other than the development team knows about the work. Another interpretation might be that Google is so afraid of all the software patents lined up against it, that it protects itself by requiring all language designers to not study the current languages being developed in case they violate a patent and end up in court. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
