Albert,

Thank you for that clear answer! Now I am even more looking forward to trying out Pure. I was never one of those who believe that sharp knives should be banned. That kind of thinking leads to "Hello World!" program in "only" two pages of J... code ;-)

It is often argued that safety is important. In my view, however, those who can program don't need it and those who cannot program only make more mistakes the longer the program is and should be doing something else anyway.
