Well... This is slashdot :-)

The big problem is the Mac Donald's consumer mentality of many people that 
talk about free software.

I mainly make free software because it's fun, not because I have a "embarace 
everything" strategy or whatever you call it (follow my eye...)

I don't care about .NET, Java, Parrot, Perl, Python, and so on, because I can 
make my own interpreter, the way I wanted (mostly), and I'm happy with 
that... :-)

The Gambas interpreter includes no modern technology (JIT compiler, ...), and 
is surely slower than others. I don't see any problem with that, because I 
can use C or C++ if I need speed :-)

The people that like the way it was done will follow and help me, the other 
will use other tools. I don't see any problem with that. There is place for 
everyone and everything in the free software world.

I wanted to paint a tree. Of course the tree painted by great artists will be 
better. But it is my tree :-)

Fall out!
