Okay, not trying to give you a hard time, as I liked the economical phrasing, it was just that the start of the original msg mentioned "in the c.d.t. context" and i feel a conventional programming language must be a mere servant of that.

ps yes, that's what i meant by fopl and rt (i feel rt is a slightly more foregiving term than rm). Received on Sun Jun 18 2006 - 15:54:07 CDT
