Sure. And if you need prototypes, then all else being equal that would be a disadvantage of Python compared to Lua. On the other hand, I'd suggest that far more programmers are familiar with classes than prototypes, regardless of any objective advantages or disadvantages of one over the other. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why Lua is lacking the market penetration of Python: programmers may look at it and say "No classes? Prototyping? WTF is that? I don't have time to learn something so different, better stick to languages which have a smaller learning curve." -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
