"Wow! You guys that you are my computing heroes.

Whenever I talk to other people about your project, I always state you 
are the best example I can imagine of REAL innovation in computer 
languages."

Um... excuse me?

1. It's not an innovation in language, but rather language implementation.

2. As far as I can tell, the idea they're implementing is not new. GHC 
implemented it a decade ago, and I'd be really, really surprised if they 
were the first to think of it.

3. In my humble opinion, the people working on Haskell and so forth are 
"the REAL innovators in computer lanugages". :-P
