Is this copied from a textbook?

I noticed the last sentence of this article says "Whether this means that all purely interpreted or virtual machine languages are toys is left as an exercise for the reader.". I don't get why somebody writing an encyclopedia article would say something's left for the reader to figure out. I'd think this is copied directly from some textbook with no source given.

No, that wasn't a cut and paste; I wrote it in jest, as a nod to the academic aspect of programming languages. Perhaps it was in poor taste; it is obviously misleading. I would not object to it's removal. -- 66.15.179.18 (talk) 21:20, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
