As I recall, last time we discussed this, we decided that the lack of
an army of grad students at a time when it was possible to get a
Masters or a Phd for writing a compiler was responsible.  Google
can probably help find the other reasons we came up with as well.

Pyrex is fun.  I've not used it for anything more than amusing me, but
it does that job _superbly_.
