And there is a difference between modeling and coding; I guess we're not going to rewrite data structures in all sorts of languages forever? Or watch compilers fuck us with cryptic messages? There must be evolution even in IT. I can't say that one language environment has a future, but 95% out of thousands of languages surely doesn't, because orders of magnitude of users do matter. And even then, I'm not sure that textual representation of logic is the best there can be. -- Regards, Karel Miklav
