I always wondered what a snake has to do with a programming language.(*) A gemstone could at least be associated with quality (*) there probably is a good blurb about the name python. There is also one about Lazarus. When it is not instinctive however, it doesn't matter. So yes to Ruby, no to Python. What about Emerald? It is more precious than Ruby, provides a nice hook for a colorscheme, and the Brazilian contributors will be pleased :-) (or am I the only one that associates emeralds with Brazil?) -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
