Well, if that was directed at me, you're jumping to the wrong conclusion. If you read a bit farther back, you'll see that I'm not exactly a Java zealot. And I'm not a perl zealot. So I often offend both, because I tell Java people, "not all dynamic languages are as crufty and prone to spaghettiness as perl!" and I tell perl people, "not all clean language designs are as rigid as Java!" Sometimes it is hard to be a follower of the Middle Way. :) -Jonathan -- C++ is history repeated as tragedy.
