computerquip did a very good job highlighting the bad points. 
rapidcoder failed miserably to provide accurate claims. Most of 
the discussion is these two going back and forth (where 
computerquip states rapidcoder's inability to argue).

The conclusion that not a systems language is the only thing I 
partially disagree with from computerquip. I don't think it can 
be used for such at this time, or at least not it a way that is 
any better than C (and may even be worse in some situations). But 
systems programming is a goal, we just don't have a big enough 
section in the community spending time to improve this area.

Sadly there isn't anything new that we can take away from this 
discussion.
