well. I inferred "inferior" from the fact that you were "disgusted" (your word) by the presence of an easter_date function. I assumed that you would not be disgusted about other languages that don't provide the function.<p>If one is disgusted by one thing and not by another, it's IMHO save to assume that the non-disgusting one is superior to the disgusting one.<p>If I have misunderstood you, I apologize.
