What I found disappointing was how many people thought they should be answering the question rather than asking it. I'm good with a number of popular languages, and I can talk knowledgeably and BS-free about many more. In grad school, I had an instructor who is a real programming language expert. Listening to his lectures was sometimes a bit like watching ESPN show the world championship of a game at which I usually beat my friends. There are levels beyond levels beyond my level. And I'm a pro. It is to the shame of my alma mater that they denied tenure to Dr. Sasaki. -- --Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
