But I don't really know sail.far and I don't know why he doesn't answer you. Maybe he doesn't perceive anything anymore because he only sees codes... ;-)
I don't know anything about programming, I don't understand your comment (programming languages) nor sail.far's posts. I only understand that you all want to understand and that's good because it means development. Development is life, stagnation is death....
