I've never said that Guido was just too stupid at that time.  I only
said "but you can definitely see that it's the oldest one".  In
other words, a Ruby six years older than the real one would have the
same problem.  And who knows how C# looks like in 10 years.

But I want to program now, and this is the current situation in my
opinion.

Tschö,
Torsten.
