Agreed. If a language can be everything, it is nothing. Python has value BECAUSE it is rigid. A while ago I played around with the idea of a language that let you define your own operators... did up a spec for how it could work. It is NOT an improvement over modern languages. http://rosuav.com/1/?id=683 ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
