It is worth noting that the most successful languages were not
developed by a committee.  For example: BASIC, "C", "C++", Pascal,
PROLOG . . . .

Even languages like LISP and FORTRAN didn't get their start in
committees.

We are still waiting for a FORTRAN-88, I don't know if the "C"
standard is finally out or not, I do know people were programming in
ANSI-C long before the standard, primarily because I suspect so much
was borrowed from C++ (which was well defined).

I was forced to abandon work partially because it was in this weird
language called PROLOG that people didn't know anything about.

I don't know what is going on in the PROLOG standard meetings.  I do
know that 2 years ago when I abandoned PROLOG, people were talking
about a standard.  How many more people will have to abandon PROLOG
before this fabled standard comes to supposedly save the day?

Sorry if this a little bitter.  That is just the way I feel these days.

P.S.  Since these days I find myself trying to hack Motif and C++,
      this obviously does not represent the views of INRIA or my group.
