Subject: Re: Falcon - powering innovation

To compile it one needs cmake. Unfortunately I was not able to build it.

The Io Language has a similar problem - I can not compile it.

I am sorry to say, but this is frustrating for me.

Python, Ruby and Perl all compile here from source for me without ANY 
problem.
I think new languages should put big emphasis to try to stay on par with 
the existing scripting languages. Maybe Falcon is better than i.e. 
python, but if I am too stupid to compile it, whereas ruby python and 
perl all work nicely (as opposed to compiling Falcon or Io), then I just 
stick to what gives me less problems.

That being said, Falcon seems to have some really cool ideas. Who knows, 
maybe one day ruby learns from falcon :-)
