Right on. And as much as I may not enjoy C++, people should still be
allowed to use what ever language they prefer, not enforced to use
only what people think they should use.

Sure, when it comes to an issue such as security controls, that may
not be possible, given limits of a current technology. However, an
individual shouldn't be molded into what *Bob* or *I* believe is best
for them, unless they seek our guidance. Rather, I believe allowing
an individual to explore their computational curiosity by supporting
many flavors of a given facet ends up catering to more successful
projects, overall.

I don't believe the goal is as much to get users running plan9 as
it is to get users to *succeed in the computer field* via plan9.

Trust your technolust.
