I have zero experience with Python, but it does seem like this week's Java, although the hype is coming from a different direction this time. But I'm sure it's a lovely language. > Lars, my dear Lars, aren't you tired of Emacs LISP? :-) Nah. I actually find it kinda comforting writing in Emacs Lisp -- my day job is Common Lisp, which is a much more complex entity. Emacs Lisp is so simple and cuddly and nice and primitive. No lexical variables! No packages! No `loop'! while! "%" in format strings! Er, uhm. Anyway. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
