You've got a deal. I'll make sure to swing by Bill's office tomorrow 
and remind him about his "realization". Let me write that down. On a 
post-it or something.

2 years break, that's a bargain Bill.

That's indeed obvious, these IDEs would absolutely switch to LUA too.
Do they have a mailing list? My gut feeling is that they would want 
to hear about it. Like now.

And by proving it you mean it was never adopted or even finished, and 
it is actually not translating anything that can build Mozilla. 
Because if that's the case, I prove it too. It's made of air. I stock 
it in a jar, but it's at the bottom of a river at the moment.
