Mr. Rubin has been an active contributor to comp.lang.c for many
months now.  He has argued his points with great vigor and seems 
genuinely interested in proving his case.  However, it seems to me 
that few people share his concern.  

It seems likely that this debate will continue for a very long time.
While that may not be a bad thing, in and of itself, it isn't as 
satisfying as, say, an implementation of the ideas that Mr. Rubin 
has advanced.

I would like to ask Mr. Rubin what he is doing, outside of posting to
this and other USENET newsgroups, to bolster his position.  Is there
any research and/or design work in progress, or is it just talk.  It is
my feeling that such work would be useful, and that everyone would 
benefit.

Perhaps a good first start would be a carefully considered paper that
presents the fundamental issues Mr. Rubin would like to see addressed.
