But to be fair, Goldberg's article is pretty obtuse and formal for most people, even programmers. I don't need lots of formal proofs as he shows. Just a summary is sufficient I'd think. Although I've been programming for many years, I have no idea what he means with most of the notation in that paper. Although I have a vague notion of what's going on, as my last post shows, I don't know any of the right terminology. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
