But lots of what Kotlin, and Ceylon, are doing are new… on the JVM. I like new, I like progress and evolution. Just because an idea is not objectively new, doesn't mean it isn't new and useful. Context and application can be as refreshing as having a brand new idea. Just think in programming languages today actors, dataflow, CSP are new, despite being 50-ish, and 40-ish years old. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
