Time will tell, but it certainly hasn't told yet. I hardly consider list serv traffic an indicator of language superiority... especially when high traffic may be an indicator of bugs. > Even the PHP dev list is really slowed the past > year or so.. just some guy named Richard bothering them about random > stuff every once in a while, that's about it.
