I think that's what's really important, is having the tools necessary to
develop that "next killer app." Since I'm not developing the next killer
app in EUPHORIA, I can get by with what's available. I couldn't imagine,
however, programming VBA without M$'s IDE (or whatever it's called). Yipes!

Ray, I don't know if I told you this before, but Python SUXORS!!!! :D
(What the heck is "suxors" anyway? How do you pronounce that?)

Looks like you spoke too soon, Ray, because now there IS a language
that's best for everything. And I wrote it!!! It's called "ABLE," which
stands for "A Best Language Ever." I know I know. Almost doesn't make
sense, but that's what makes my language cutting edge!!!!
It's got everything that everybody wants, even [fill in your
favorite/must-have language feature here]. I'm serious!
I'm still thinking of some catch phrases, something like, "With ABLE,
you're able." But that seems too obvious. And "ABLE is incredABLE" is
just plain dumb.

Yeah, but, there's nothing in Python that will blow your socks off
either... is there?

Well, don't waste time making that list, because ABLE will do all you
desire!!!! And more!!!!!!!! (I'm using exclamation points to great
effect, no?)
