Diamond has a lot of detailed code because of the power features, but the
fundamental code is actually fairly simple to code and maintain. Where I pay
the cost is in speed. While Diamond compares well to Python or Ruby, it is
quite slow vs pure Eu.
Bach's OOP operations are blazingly fast (though Bach's OOP features are not
as powerful as Diamond's)--this shows the advantage of OOP support built
into the interpreter.
