Well, sure, but the state of the art still advances, albeit slowly. OOP has advantages over procedural code, in the right venue. VMs improve. The engines of "new" languages like Python and Ruby are built on the lessons learned of the previous generations, of Pascal and Modula and Perl. Advances are made, but they are generational. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
