That's true. FOCAL scarred me for life.


but i now realize Ruby has some good
things going for it.


Any language that gets any sort of real use has to have. For instance,
I love Ada's numeric types (you can specify either the minimum number
of significant figures or the maximum delta for a real type, and it
will give you a type that satisfies that -- or a compilation error if
it can't.  That matches genuine problem domains far better

doesn't the decimal module do some of that too?
