Monocultural oops.
A. San Juan educated me on the meaning of the word monoculture. I didn't occur to me to look it up (and with m-w.com there's no excuse not to, really), so I didn't even think of the relation to agriculture. I was thinking of it more as "single culture", or even more specifically "single worldview". What I'm interested in is the future, and I believe that the future of computing is going to require more new ideas. So a single world view is too limiting. We need the debate on Java/C# vs Smalltalk vs Lisp vs OCaml vs Python vs Ruby vs ??

Hey Ted:
Don't think about it. It just so happened I know that area because of my bio background, and I was only trying to clarify the definition of the term for James. Regards.
