It's scary too. What if the braindrain leaves a husk full of legacy code, software patents and lawyers....

Has anyone here used these "Iron" languages? I haven't. Do they bring anything useful to the table, or are they an attempt at lock-in?

Hey tripper,

You got it all wrong. Everyone knows you need your daily iron dose to keep your bloods happy ... I mean healthy. Don't be too critical if you health flags in the face of these elite thugs, but that's the way of the world. Brought to you by the helpful team that ransacks your facility to make sure all licenses are valid and paid for properly.
