Polite is good :) Incidentally, if anyone else knows of a language that fits the description above, I'd be most curious. Maybe we're going to see a revolution in language design - with everyone adopting this sort of string handling - or in language usage - with everyone adopting Python or Pike. Hmm. We're having major security issues with Joomla, I wonder how hard it'd be to convince our webmaster to switch to a Python-based web framework...
