Hi Brian

Not to worry! I am a big fan of yours !

You have tons of great stuff on the net and your probably the main force 
behind my learning right now.

Actually I have lots of questions for you....

I have been following Vala for a few years and it looks great. The thing 
is the project is very non-assertive. I mean it will be 20 more years 
before they reach 1.0 and they talk about being experimental on their 
site. I might be looking at projects spanning 5-10 years. I don't want 
to refactor later if Vala is dead. Any thoughts on this, do you think 
it's okay for production code?

I was also thinking about objective-C and D for the GTK side, any 
thoughts on that? We could bring Cobol in the same way you described for 
Vala no?

When we bring Cobol code in, it is defined as an external 
function/method. Do you think it might be good to bring the cobol stuff 
in, inside a class? via a I guess extern private foo ...

I am just outside of Toronto, if your comfortable with it, could you 
tell me roughly where you are?

Thanks for responding to my post-Patrick
