Uh eh. I do not intend to offend anyone, but how did you get the<br>
impression that Self is successful?<br>
<br>
Don't get me wrong, I like Self and I am activelly trying to learn it,<br>
but as far as I know it is almost dead project with maybe 10 people in<br>
world actually still using it outside of academia.<br>
<br>
Compared to JavaScript, it seems to me that it is totally un-successfull.<br>
