Let's admit it, and move on. Several warts. For example, abstraction inversion (just look at ACT PolyOrb code, or try to implement tree crabbing), type system unable to express physical units, very limited standard library (compare it to say CM3 Modula, or Java). But the problem real problem IMO is that the development of the language has stagnated. Regards, Wojtek
