Mike, you are not a liar!
Mike,
On reflection, 'phony' was a terrible choice. 'Phantom' would have
been
much better, more neutral word, but if you prefer 'erroneous', I can
live with that too.
I did not call you a liar, and I did not want to imply you were one.
Believe me, if I had any doubts about your integrity, your messages
would not even reach my mailbox.
You forced me to re-read my last note - not a pretty experience. I
noticed one small section that can possibly be interpreted as an
attack on OO (object oriented) programming principles. That's not what
I meant. In fact I admire the Smalltalk people that started it all
almost thirty years ago. They were real visionaries, unfortunately too
much ahead of their time, because it's only now that reasonably pure
and workable systems are appearing on the horizon (newer versions of
Smalltalk, Eiffel, etc). And it still might take a decade, and two or
three orders of magnitude faster PCs to realize the full potential of
their ideas. And I am pretty sure it will not be the muddled atrocity
of C++ or Java diarrhea that will rule the world. It's more likely to
be a streamlined version of Python, or something similarly powerful
and still reasonably accessible, or perhaps Eu v 5.0...
