Mr. Bad!  I am sorry to have hurt your feelings!  I now believe you were
shown a gigantic histogram on your last visit to Sparks.

Indeed.  And other powerful declarative languages, such as Microsoft Excel
VBA MacroSystem, are also prominent in the field.

I retract my apology.  Clearly SUPERLANG beats GOOPYGUILE in any head on
encounter on the Level Field of Play.  Your histograms are a lie, Sir, and
Sun, in an unexpected alliance with Apple, are launching
SUPERLANGDOTINTHEDOTSCRIPT.  Several billion eggs of the insect
SUPERLANGDOTINTHEDOTSCRIPT totem have already been deposited where they
will do you the most good.  The imago is almost unbearably cute.

oo--JS.
