When can we expect an > informal overview? ;-) Unfortunately, I have to make a living, so I spend most of my time writing compilers, static analysis tools, and other stuff like that. I don't have time to really dig into language design these days. But that doesn't stop me from griping about existing languages... And I seem to gripe most about the ones I like best. >...Also, what's it called? Duff? Heh. No, not "Duff". ;-) - Bob
