...and aren't we still waiting for the accompanying Exegesis 4? It's probably just that my brane is full (or torn), but the Apocalypsese only really start to make sense for me after I've had a chance to read the Exegesis for each one. This isn't to pick on Damien -- I'm sure he's busy -- but to urge him on to do more good work like he has been doing. Over here, we're lucky enough to get Dan Sugalski giving talks on his progress with Parrot most months, and it seems like things are going well. I'm not counting Perl6 out quite yet... :) -- Chris Devers "Okay, Gene... so, -1 x -1 should equal what?" "A South American!"
