1. Universities aren't impressed by Compiler Writing any more. (Been
   done before, they say).

2. There are too many languages, so any given Language gets a fraction
   of what they would have got when 'there was Lisp ....  and there
   was everything else'.  <Smiling warmly at the Lispers who are saying,
   huh? But _nothing_ has changed ...>
