Fortran is still considered too new by the Australian educational system. I hear they still teach classes in front panel aptitude though, just so students will have some hope of being able to land jobs with the Australian defense industry when they graduate. How's that radar job going? :) > Are you suggesting we add Haskell to the base install? I think that for a language to qualify, it must first be successful to a degree several orders of magnitude greater than that of Haskell. Or any other functional programming language, for that matter. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
