I am 100% confident that those same systems could be well written in a language such as Python and would very likely end up being much smaller and more manageable. I have a question for you: All your arguments seem to lean towards size and the importance of encapsulation. What is the largest system you have worked on - that has been written entirely in Python ? cheers James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
