damn, i'm confused.  i was thinking about UCB pascal -- maybe that
isn't even right 'cos it was a long time ago.

that 'pi' thing.

the only thing they have in common is the concept of a 'virtual machine'.

pascal is a toy.

java is a joke.

limbo?  well, i gotta lotta time for that language.  the module loading is

ever seen a lunix syscall trace of running python to the command line level?
