No really, my purpose WAS NOT to compare (again) the benefits of C and
Transcript syntax.
The point I wanted to make was : is it really a huge task to learn Transcript
for
anyone who speaks english and is already a coder (in C or any other language) ?
IMHO the answer is NO. The basic concepts are quite simple : hierarchy of
objects, sending messages and handlers structure. Again, I've seen ppl getting
those concepts in less than 1 hour...

And my remark was concerned ONLY with productivity, and NOT comparison
of various syntax.

Best,
