Very well, then! That leaves us with the larger questions:

* By what logic do you argue that a language which is commonly used in
  fields which are (by your own admission) "pretty big" but (in your
  assessment) not "serious" is therefore "pretty irrelevant in most
  language discussions?"
* What about all of the other non-game applications people have cited?
  Are none of these "serious" by your standards?

I simply descended to the level that the argument had been brought to
so don't complain.

On the contrary, you've been the one dragging it down from the start;
the first to name-call, the first to accuse someone of being a sock-
puppet, the first to mock other people for having specialties you don't
consider "serious" - and, for that matter, the person who started this
off by talking pointless smack, as if anybody in comp.lang.misc cares
whether a language is considered "relevant" or "serious."

Muttley: "Also you're a poopiehead." 

 
Are you expecting to be taken seriously?

Were *you,* when you decided to start throwing around terms like
"aspie?" (2009 called, they want their insult back.)
