- From where I sit it appears that the biggest issues will be in
- the areas of speed and size of executables. I have heard that
- some experimental OOP languages are approaching the speed of
- compiled C (if anyone has info on these please let me know how
- to obtain more info.) but I have not seen a commercial package
- that even comes close to being very efficient at run time. The
- other problem, that of size, may be addressable when the speed
- increases.
