ICFP 2002 Contest Winners Announced

Georgwe Russell writes "The Winners have been announced at the official web site. Looks like OCaml and functional programming have won again, with the 3 member TAPLAS team. There is somewhat of an upset, though. Second place goes to 3-member team Radical TOO, whose entry was written in C! In the lightning round, the virtues of Python as a quick prototyping language were shown in the lightning division's winning entry by the OaSys one-man team. Does the skill of the programmer prevail over the limitations of the language and paradigm used, or is C nearly as good a language as OCaml?"

You're hilarious--I keep my threshold at -1 because of this. It's almost like watching bloopers on TV. Thank you, and keep up the good work (I mean it). I don't care about anything remotely on topic anymore ;) Nothing's better than seing serious posts get replied to with this....
