Right, all those prime types are not OO. (I really like the fact that Java supports "byte" type)

=============================

For more blahblah...I am thinking

It is not just the differeces between java and Perl, or c and perl... It is actually a generic point, which splits people's thought, even one person's thought, that is whether you want to make things more strict or more flexiable.

I would expect things going zig-zag through out the IT history, the past and the future: when it becomes too strict, people would start to add more flexibility, and when it is too flexiable, start to make things more strict.

Nothing really wrong with either school of thought.

Nice chat.
