Restated, my point is that if Swarm is going to provide a language
substrate, it definitely should be a rich one (Java and Lisp being
examples of rich language substrates).  Otherwise, Swarm cannot
really be thought of as a standalone simulation, modelling or development
environment.  If Swarm does not provide good language integration
features (but tries) the poor ones it provides will just be in the way.
