A lot of this type of argument seems to imply that eventually there will
be a a language that finnally comes out on top as the final solution for
all programmers everywhere. I'm not so sure this will happen. Java extentions
for Perl make a lot of sense to me given that IBM is working on a similar thing
for REXX and Microsoft appears to be going in that direction as well with MFC.
Untill a truly intelligent design interface comes bouncing down the pike I don't
think anyone can rest on thier laurels and make set the standard.
