It's a fascinating language to teach. I could teach the syntax in one 1-hour session. Teaching about the development environment took the rest of the first morning, and then a hypersonic skim of the class library took the other 2.5 days of a 3-day course! Speaking entirely personally, and not wanting to start a language war*, Smalltalk is still the fastest prototyping environment for some classes of problem that I've used (out of somewhere over 30 before I lost count) - but I'd prefer something with a few more safety belts for production use! - Peter * Too late, I fear! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
