    I wonder how The Grand Negus wrote his Plain English compiler if he vowed not to program in any language but his own? Surely he couldnt have written it in plain english. :) So i wonder which came first... The osmosian vow or the plain english compiler... Maybe God came down out of heaven and wrote the compiler for him and told him and his disciples to go conquer the internet with it. :rolleyes:

          I will remember unto the day I get Alzheimer's... In the book I have on Ada, I believe in the introduction, is the statement: "The Ada compiler is written in Ada."
