To Rev or not to Rev

[Dan Shafer]

I suggest it's the other way around.

One could write a Transcript interpreter and IDE to duplicate that of 
Revolution in Java or Smalltalk, e.g., but it would be all but 
impossible to write a Java compiler or interpreter and IDE in 
Transcript.

But that's moot. Nobody's going to do either. Java is good for some 
things for which Rev is not suited (mostly apps requiring lots of 
interaction with system-level resources and multi-programmer projects) 
and Rev is good for some things for which Java is either overkill or 
cumbersome (almost everything else...LOL).
