Hi from Paris,
I think Jim has it all sown up.

I went through many languages from 1401 Autocoder,
through Fortran, through Cobol, through 360 Assembler,
and then through PL/1. I was young and capable of
evolving.
Hypercard (at the age of 45) was a shock, and Revolution
at 60, was a bigger shock. But I took the blows, and
came out winning (and not whining !!)
The developments of Revolution (revlets, revtalk,
On-Rev, shake the traditional programmer, but you
have to go with the flow, or sink into oblivion.
Then the question arises - Are there any traditional
programmers left ? - It MAY be a dying breed.
Best Regards
-Francis
