compileIt for revolution?

You may well be right. But the definition of "this Achilles heel"  
varies all over the map. Revolution is not the best programming  
language for all classes of problem. Those who choose not to see it  
as a "real" programming language because of one perceived lack will  
often just find another if that one's addressed. And another. I've  
been through this with a dozen or more languages in my too-many-years  
in this business.

All I'm saying is that rather than spending time and effort to  
enhance or extend Revolution to solve a set of problems for which  
another language might be better suited, I'd rather see RunRev work  
hard to make it easier and easier and more stable for addressing the  
problems for which it is the ideal solution. There are, I believe,  
more than enough of those to make Rev successful for many years to come.
