      From: pertti.kellomaki@tut.fi              In addition to the practical benefit of having the compiler       as a test case, there is also the cool factor. If I were       implementing a compiler for a cool new language, I would       much rather do it in the cool language rather than someone       else's really boring language.       --       Pertti              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
