"verbose sintax"...Was that deliberate spelling or a very coincidental

Actually, that may be a good reason NOT to use a training-wheels
language like Java - one they finally do *that* much damage, maybe

Heh, sounds vaguely similar to another language I've heard of...Hmm,
what was it called...? Not C...Something after that... ;)
