I'm not sure whether that's a complement or an insult. :) But you're right - like Tom, I'm bigly in favour of people doing their own research before blustering in. We're not, for instance, going to be writing parts of Parrot in C++, as a study of the FAQ (which I honestly did not know was not very well publicised[1]) or the mailing list archives would confirm. Suggestions that we could or ought to just convince me that the questioner has not done his homework, and this makes me less disposed to giving him anything more than terse answers.
