Hi JC,
Interesting but that study seems a bit self-contradictory. All 3 diets had the same SFA (Saturated fat) contents of 7% so the title cannot be correct.
The only difference seems to be diet number 3 having slightly less PUFA (by 2%) and slightly more MUFA (by 3%) than the first two.
Even though ORAD diet (diet 3) had a slightly higher LDL and Lp(a) it also had slightly higher HDL.
Changes in LDL and TC have been studies many times before but their results are often inconclusive or contrary to each other. The change is not directly implicated in the CVD risk. There are studies showing reduction in total and LDC cholesterol while at the same time showing the CVD risk going up.

This is off topic. My apologies if you consider disruptive. I read your papers every so often because they're interesting and I always find the C++ article informative.
There's a language that I believe is structured very much like what you say languages should be structured.

Rebol was designed by a real innovator Carl Sassenrath. He wrote a lot of the multitasking OS of the Amiga. It gets a little wordy here but rebol is interesting. You might find rebol useful for small programming, or big, jobs that you need to thrash out something quickly.
Carl wrote rebol and charged high fees for it just when everything was going open source and free. Didn't go over but it has a lot of strong supporters. He let it lapse a little until a highly capable guy known in the rebol community decided to build his own rebol but also allow compilation. RED's goals are to write a interpreter, like rebol, and a DSL system programming language like C and all of it to be self hosting with no C. He's using rebol to write this. He's not done yet but it is usable for some stuff. It's a fairly ambitious goal.

Right after this Carl decided to open source rebol with a few upgrades and called it R3.

People are using R3 for production work with some GUI library changes. It's written in C and is interpeted. You can find links to it from the forum I link below.
Here's a forum with a lot of info on it. I know there's only so many hours in a day and this might not interest you but it is a very productive language. It's sort of functional and a bit like forth but it has a built in system to make Domain Specific Languages DSL it calls dialects. It has a system called parse that is very good at factoring out data. So it can parse DSL made languages like html, pdf, or any other sort. The GUI system is an actual DSL made just for making GUI displays. The structure is sort of like you were talking about in your c++ paper.

USEFUL REBOL DOCUMENTS AND RESOURCES

A good place to start is to use the original to learn as all the derivatives mostly follow Carl's idea and syntax. Nice page that shows what it can do. It's also linked on the forum and written by the guy that runs the forum.

Anonymous: thanks for the links! Looks like a good scripting language!
