Mr X has really hit the nail squarely on the head.
I often open the rev IDE, wistfully hoping perhaps
that somehow it could now magically do what I need it
to do. Then I realize it can't and drift away to other
development platforms with a sense of regret at what
could have been.

There are two classes of problems to solve.
1. Develop commercial applications for others to use to solve a
problem without knowing how it is done.
2. Write your own tools to solve your own problems.
Number 1 is hard and requires a lot of expertise. The user is

Dear Dan
Thanks for the reply. Alas, I am one of those
colleagues you describe, since the major part of what
I want to do simply doesn't work well with rev.
Firstly, rev is far too slow for numerical
computation. I did some tests and even byte-optimized
Python beats rev for speed in most cases

Yeah, I'll give you that. And there may be some value in looking at
an implementation like Jython, which uses Python but allows calling
Java classes where appropriate. As long as I never have to actually
look at Java source. Yuk.

That sounds potentially promising. I wonder if there's anyone on the
