"Scala" means "scalable language", it's supposed to be designed to be able to scale both up and down :-) Removing the array.sort and moving complex numbers to the std lib is a little against the scaling down, but I think it's acceptable. In the Python std lib there's a module that's essentially designed for the "scaling down", the fileinput module: http://docs.python.org/library/fileinput.html Phobos can grow a simple module that helps the creation of script-like programs, its contents have to be chosen from practice. Some of its features are just imported from other modules. Bye, bearophile
