Brandon, your penchant for getting involved in long, useless polemics is 
NOT a quality. Also, you may want to be more cautious when judging the 
difficulty level of various software platforms, especially when you 
haven't really tried using them.

I think it's pretty well established that Stalin (and Gambit?) are 
faster than Chicken, but Chicken has a much better ecosystem (community, 
libraries etc). If you see people interested in Stalin, I'm pretty sure 
they know the deal they're getting. You're not adding value by trying to 
convince them otherwise; and they certainly won't appreciate your 
suggestion that you know better what's good for them.

Let's stick to discussions that provide value to all participants. Keep 
in mind that when you feel like belaboring a random point to death, you 
can always reply in private.

P.S. All this talk of Stalin has made me curious; is there a page 
documenting Stalin's limitations / standard adherence? If it's just the 
lack of syntax-rules support, that can be worked around with the help of 
Alexpander.

Zdravstvuite,
