Matlab has compiler (into C) Python has compilers (see Microsoft's IronPython for .NET for example) > Further one small remarks: > - Python isn't a programming language.

(like: The structure is statically > determinate, so > it can't be solved by equations of statics) Who says interpretted languages aren't programming languages? But anyway, there are compilers for Python (as I said in previous e-mail I've made compiler for Logo [generates Pascal from it] and you can do similarly for pretty any language combined with some small or bigger runtime [for reflection or name/value dictionaries etc.] for the dynamic stuff) > About using Lazarus as a IDE for Python: some ppl here can react very > hostile to that idea.

For example can it highlight .XML or .XSL files? Since unihighlighter supports a ton of languages (have contributed highlighter for Logo myself for example some time ago) I don't see why the IDE shouldn't support all those and allow people to use it as a universal programming editor if they wish so apart from using it for Pascal projects (why use yet another text editor along with the nice Laz text editor?). Delphi has been doing that too and VS.net does the same too, can open and highlight many different filetypes and even provide intellisense for many of them ---------------- George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computer & Informatics Engineer Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2007 Borland "Spirit of Delphi" 3D, QuickTime, QTVR, Java, Delphi, ActiveX, .NET components, Robotics http://www.kagi.com/birbilis http://birbilis.spaces.live.com _____ avast!
