who here will be at oscon (or yapc::eu)? i would like to get a small BOF going on this subject. i agree it is a morass but i have some ideas and i know dan has plenty. but we had better learn to swim these swamps and not get eaten by the gators. we can drain them, convert them to dry deserts and make them safe for camel caravans. :)
Has any other language learnt to swim well in these swamps?
Cross-platform? Not that I know of. On single platforms, sure. That's easy. Well, relatively easy, at least.
