I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Smalltalk here! ScheduledWindow new open opens a sizeable, moveable, collapsable, expandable window. Now that's expressive. :-) But there's no reason why a suitable library for say, C++, wouldn't result in the same expressiveness. I guess you've got to define the language by saying the stuff supplied to you on disk doesn't omit any (libraries/modules) stuff you could reasonably expect to have got. ...John Woods -- /******* cut here ******* John Woods ******* cut here ******** * Philosophy: Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit (Virgil) * * Disclaimer: Every statement in this file is possibly !true * ******** cut here ******* John Woods ******* cut here *******/
