"We wrote our original benchmarking tool in Python, but during our latest benchmarks, we noticed that it was taking about as much time as the engine itself, hiding our real performance numbers. We now have a very small Objective-C program (

What's so great about "Fluent" interfaces? If a language supports named parameters, they're inappropriate, no? (Yes, I know Java doesn't have named parameters, although it and many other languages that don't have it have a work-around with
