I looked at Ruby about a year ago and dismissed it then because of speed. I thought that the overhead of instantiating an object in an interpreted language was the problem. At least Java/JSP is partly pre-compiled and has the advantage of strong data typing. Also, when you declare a final class & use static methods, the speed increase is noticable - at the cost of extensibility. Still, Ruby is a nice concept. I'm not discounting it yet as Java has no real OS level interface due to its platform independance. Craig. -- Craig Skinner | http://www.kepax.co.uk | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
