I'm sorry about messing up this thread.

Not your fault at all! This is just a particular bugbear of mine, since software architecture design (including appropriate programming language selection) is an even more poorly understood discipline than software development in general :)

I just wanted to represent why I'm very interested in Victor's efforts.

And thanks for posting that, as it is indeed cool that the optimisation efforts currently being discussed may result in performance improvements on some of the simplified micro-benchmarks popular in programming language shootouts.

There's no way you could have anticipated the subsequent tangential discussion on motives for contributing to open source projects, and the impact that has on what we can reasonably expect from fellow contributors.

Cheers, Nick.
