Lets please stop using the term B&D languages, this is a bad analogy and a heavily biased opinion. Maybe I can't adequately express classes or model abstractions in expression-based language X and feel similarly constrained. This shows the term 'B&D' can be applied from almost any paradigm or style of programming to any other and is semantically worthless. Lets be more precise and use unambiguous terms such as strongly, weakly, or dynamically typed languages so we don't have to type 'k' so often. rjh
