i think charles once said that it was 'leisurely" to program in limbo.
i agree.  the compiler is great, as is the debugger.  use what
ever you like.  i write nearly everything in limbo or VHDL (the limbo
helpers generate most of the VHDL).  it's easier to write a limbo
program to produce the VHDL ...
