Amancio,

Because I hit everyone over that head by doing the bmake and then talking
fast.:)  I saw a need for a good scripting lang that had wide support. 

The reason 4.X was chosen was for the simple fact 5.0 was still in beta/alpha
 and I did not want to have to handle the patch of the week syndrome.
