No, unless Dan gets good or lucky with his aim. 10 paces is a long way. However, given the sterling work of Daniel and Leo on the JIT, I expect Dan will be the one doing the throwing. And even if the Python people cry foul on the JIT I suspect that the computed-goto-predereference core will scream faster than anything they currently have. (Mmmm. I wonder if they're implementing their own CGP core) Nicholas Clark
