I used to teach Smalltalk*. Of a 3-day course, 1/4 day was on the language, 1/2 day was on the environment and the rest was on the class library. It's an interesting experiment in language philosophy in the same way that LISP is an interesting experiment - and ST80's still by far the fastest single-user prototyping environment I've ever used. I just don't use it for high-performance code. At the other end of the language-complexity scale, I can't remember the source of the quote but I do appreciate "When C++ is your hammer, everything looks like a screw." - Peter * Also Java, C++, Basic, UNIX, SQL... I'm not proud ;-). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
