Well he did ask for any new angles. He went over the old saw about
partitioning work into C/C++ and scripting, which I wanted to point out is
unnecessary. I thought if folks are using Python in the first place then they
are receptive to better ways of doing things. (TCL is just too feebleminded to
bother with. :-j)

I'm not a marketroid. I'm a Dylan developer who is enthusiastic about the
language that I use, and somewhat depressed that people put up with
interpreted scripting languages in order to get interactive development.

I'll cease and desist now if I'm pinning your jerkometer.
