Hi Steve
I did not mean to imply that Haskell was for non-programmers, quite the
opposite! I think it's power is a threat if it drains away
professional-programmers, while Python has the potential to become the
"Walmart" of programing languages, swallowing up family-sized ones. I
could never have understood Lua's prototype-like object system without
having understood Python's plain class based object system first. I know
saving CPU cycles is always a concern and Lua has the edge today but if
savings CPU cycles did not save Forth, then in the long run it might not
save Lua.
Thanks
