I know it's not in the spirit of Usenet, but instead of seeing every
last advocate of every last language post their own particular
example of how to count readably, might we agree that each of our
favorite languages has its own space of clear superiority and its
own weaknesses?  And, might we go on to extrapolate that making
arbitrary comparisons between the languages based on sound-bite
miniscule algorithms is first-order flawed?

Gentlemen, I tender GALLO'S FIRST LAW OF LANGUAGE DISCUSSION ON THE
INTERNET for immediate adoption by all advocates of all languages:

    No post shall be made which mentions 
        a) two or more languages
    and one or more of 
        b) the fibonacci algorithm
        c) any kind of sorting algorithm
        d) any algorithm meant to show readability
        e) the words "learning curve"

In the fine Internet tradition, I hereby declare this law 100%
totally binding, a New Internet Standard, and the benchmark
yardstick which all rational beings apply to their posts.
Further, 500 developers have signed up to support this new law,
and benchmarks indicate that it's 500% faster than the
competitors' laws.

So kindly stop with the yammering.  You too, Tom.
