That is a really good suggestion. To me it seems that several known 
language authors have experimented with various kinds of languages before 
settling down. But Walter has only done assembler/C/C++/D/Java/Pascal? 
There are so many other important languages, such as Self, Eiffel, Scala, 
Scheme, SML, Haskell, Prolog, etc. It is not by any means harmful to know 
about their internals. There is great deals of CS concepts to be learned 
only by studying the language cores.
