RE: RTFM (was: CPYF behavior)

Actually, I'm hoping that one day the industry gets tired of all these
spurious new languages that keep popping up like dandy lions...  I'd like
to see industry grab ONE language and then finally make the standard that
the compiler and language definition would modify in a standardized way so
that we don't have all these 32790 different languages, dialects and
releases that we have to contend with.

My guess is that it would look like C or PL/I, have the portability of
java...whatever definition of portability you believe this week...:)

Hey, I can dream, right? :)
