Well, let's at least try to keep the heat down.  What one wants in a programming
language on a theoretical basis is not exactly the same thing that one wants
from a specific language implementation or compiler.

I think the flames started because a couple of people had different world views,
rather than any factual disagrement, otherwise the exchange has been somewhat
informative.

Let's leave the nit-picking, sarcasm and gleeful trouncing to that talk.noise
groups and concentrate on information.
