Sigh, one of these days I'm gonna have to rewrite many of these pages. I find them very hard to navigate and very unfriendly to newbies, because very basic information (like what 'is' is) is buried deep in long verbose infodumps of diverse language features, with no indication at all which are fundamental concepts and which are just details. It's virtually impossible to find what you're looking for unless you already know what it is. TDPL lays things out in a much saner fashion, but how many newbies actually own the book? We need the online docs to be just as newbie-friendly. T -- MSDOS = MicroSoft's Denial Of Service
