[Marc Ernst Eddy van Woerkom]

In regard of Joe's recent posting that Erlang might be OOP
after all, I just came accross an announcement 

  http://compilers.iecc.com/comparch/article/03-08-088

that says that for example perhaps C++ wasn't multi-pardigm enough 
yet as it was.

Waiting for LOCOFPOOPL,
Marc
