Andre's post: Rev and the Web...

[Randall Lee Reetz]

Yes, it is always good to know.  Or is it?  I am a fan of  
automation.  I am working on an evolving AI scheme.   It sucks  
intelligence out of humans (they don't get hurt in the process).  So  
I am up to my eyeballs in stuff to learn and invent (I've got a  
warehouse full of fishing rods already).  That is the point.  I would  
be all for learning to fish if fishing was my goal.  Which brings me  
to my perennial soap box support of xTalk... that it offloads the  
detail so that developers can concentrate in the high-level goals  
that drive their projects.
