Um, I'm not sure what your point is there... but I'm just saying that all
this "my language is faster/prettier/freeer than yours" stuff is a bit
pointless. You use the right tool for the job, and often that doesn't equal
speed or efficiency it equals getting the job done quickly and as error
free as possible. For me Euphoria/win32lib fits the bill nicely for Windows
apps, Perl or sh for scripting, and PHP or Perl for CGI.
