Hi Steve

I did not mean to imply that Haskell was for non-programmers, quite the 
opposite! I think it's power is a threat if it drains away 
professional-programmers, while Python has the potential to become the 
"Walmart" of programing languages, swallowing up family-sized ones. I 
could never have understood Lua's prototype-like object system without 
having understood Python's plain class based object system first. I know 
saving CPU cycles is always a concern and Lua has the edge today but if 
savings CPU cycles did not save Forth, then in the long run it might not 
save Lua.

Thanks
