Although there were some informative e-mails in that last thread, some I
even saved permanently, I would say most of it wasn't very usefull at
all. I was hoping to get more reasons why a language works better then
another instead of just vague lashing out.  If you are going to be
passionate, be passionate about what is better about a language instead
of what is worthless about another.  Personally, that's what I find to
be most informative.

YMMV
