Too late, I'm afraid, as Computer Language has just gone under.  This
is obviously due to their continued emphasis on C and C++ programming,
an approach that is doomed to failure in the Non-Munditoed World. 
When will these people learn that a slick magazine with lots of
advertising, appearances at national and international conferences,
etc. are not enough to make a language successful.  They couldn't even
succeed with the HUGE government investment that they got from using
magazine rates for mailing AND sorting into zipcode order.  What a
bunch of jerks!

Not only that, but they never gave me the huge amount of money that I
deserved for pointing out a typo in one of their copyright notices.
