re all, first a premise: if a rewrite is what we are profiling now, then i'm admittely pushing towards C, feel free to call me conservative...

R- aren't higher level languages with dynamic typecasting and other fancy features just less efficient than C in any case? NTK was already prototyped and Alpt demonstrated that the mathematical model behind it *works* fairly well. what we need now is not a prototype, but an efficient implementation (and an 100% complete RFC, but i guess that can get smoothed on the way). AFAIK even the most advanced language features can be implemented in a C project - with more overhead, but also more possibilities for later optimization. ciao
