I think Sass fits the "boring" moniker quite well when it comes to CSS preprocessors. :) That said, with recent and planned advances in CSS3 (and free of the IE shackles :) ), CSS preprocessors surely are slowly going the way of J

Hm...I wonder whether this could also be an effect of a special case of company culture legacy - with the eMagic-based Logic/Core Audio team very much retained as a unit in Rellingen, Germany and co-founder Lengerling being Sr. Directo

If anything, Python in science is the opposite of cargo cult - it's more like pragmatic to a fault. Its ubiquituous in academia/science, has a low barrier to entry, and a large amount and arguably often unmatched quality of specia

I haven't forgotten anything, I just fail to see the relevance to this discussion. (68k? Really? That one's been dead for 14 years. And what is with you and NT on PPC? You really want to start comparing a 25 year old, short-lived,
