No. I just insist it's possible to use it for that kind of thing, having 
done so many times. :-)

It's not the best. Up until a couple of years ago, it was the scripting 
language with the most useful features like threads, GUI, could run as a 
service, could package into a single executable, could be embedded, etc.

Nowadays, I suspect Python has a lot of traction in that sort of area.

I was saying I suspect you were building your OO programs in a way that made 
them hard to change argument types.
