I could join the team in the psychiatry sooner than planned. Sorry, but my script recognition system is not built to distinguish between ([{|}]) easily. You rwite code between one and five times, but you read it a hundred times... Ralf Back to top Moni Guest Posted: Sat May 06, 2006 9:14 am    Post subject: Re: Perhaps a D compiler? There are so many programming languages to choose from. Everybody is all excited about Ruby. I checked it out and thought it was cool. It's suffering a lot from overhype at the moment. Someone said on Digg that Haskell is going to be the next big thing. A lot of people are excited about Eiffel. I could go on and on...
