Do you believe that we would ALL be using "easy dynamic languages" if speed were not an issue, meaning that non-dynamic languages would die out completely? That's what this whole sub-argument is about. Maybe your statement was meant to be hyberbole, and that what you really meant is that dynamic languages would be more popular than they are now if speed were not an issue. Possibly someone just took your figuratative statement a little too literally. If that's the case, please just say so. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
