[Carel Fellinger] > Does that little language of yours have an if-else statement? No, sorry. This is not an imperative language. The `... when ... else' is the closest we have to an imperative `if else'. -------------------- Let me chat a bit. We use the little language to describe fairly complex relations of prerequisites for a selection and matching subsystem -- and no, not at all, we are not in the sex industry! :-). The data gets compiled into forms, which are then quite optimised for efficient evaluation. The language, optimiser and evaluator have all been implemented in Python. The legibility and cleanness of Python, also helped with our little language, allowed such a clear expression of the problem that it was easy to add new optimisations, unthought with the previous implementations in PL/I or C. The current setup even compares favourably speed-wise, wiping out most doubts and concerns of old-timers, here. The net effect is an administrative decision that all projects are likely to be developed in Python, from now on. Surely very pleasurable for me! :-) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
