If a computer language takes more than three years to create, it's being developed incorrectly, I look forward to using your language. PS, you can use Perl 6 when it comes out anyway.	[reply]

If a computer language takes more than three years to create, it's being developed incorrectly I can't think of any languages (except perhaps assemblys) that didn't take several years to evolve into a useful form. Maybe you can help me out? What general-purpose languages have been developed correctly? `-- F o x t r o t U n i f o r m Found a typo in this node? /msg me % man 3 strfry`	[reply]
