Seems to argue in favor of a statically-linked dynamic language: The runtime compiler can be static with install scripts being a bit more malleable. Main issue I can see with C is that most people today don't know how to manage memory; not enough of us left who really understand how malloc works :-) -- Steven Lembark 5725 Aylesboro Ave Workhorse Computing Pittsburgh PA 15217 lemb...@wrkhors.com +1 888 359 3508
