There is one really interessting (imho) point in the last part that struck me down: <blockquote> Aside from a formal specification, which I hope to produce in the near future, the language needs a name. Here is where many modern languages have done well. Perl, named after Pearl Biggar (Larry Wall’s fiancée), Ruby (named after Ruby Kusanagi Matsumoto, Yukihiro Matsumoto’s youngest daughter), Ada (named after Charles Babbage’s first programming student, Ada Lovelace), and COBOL (named after Colleen Bolero, the heroine of a Ravel operetta) have set a high standard for naming techniques. </blockquote> OMG! Did you people know that already ;-) Regards M. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
