Sorry, Neil, no such luck. =)
I'll say this:
1) I'm the tech lead for Komodo
2) Python is my favorite language
3) Mark Hammond works on Komodo
4) Python is a great component language
5) This is not an official ActiveState statement.
As for Perl, well, Perl has its uses too. =)
I'll give the long version of this argument next week at IPC9, if anyone's
interested. See some of you there!
