Yes, I'm one of these machines, who can't leave without noise. It was a nice time here and with ruby and with my diploma and with all the virus mails (from which I read noone) Now It's time for me to go to the next "new" language. Can you give me a suggestion? I had a look on Haskel -- as a pure functional language Self -- as a prototype OO-lang Ocaml -- as a popular oo+func-language D -- as a ++C++ abc -- as the predecessor to Python and tuhs Ruby APL -- as a confuse^3 language which "noone but me understands" ??? -- as your recomendation mats: You'll read this another 100 times, but your language is just sexy, clean and elegant. And it allows quite a lott. It'll be still used for everydays problems. Maybe You'll find a way to an optional type system. If you one time used eclipse+java you'll miss it's help-features (which are based on java's static type system)
