as i have already written on this subject, it would actually be a good 
thing (tm) to only allow object oriented languages in these 2 tests.
but i find it is just too difficult to select. ok, erlang is not oo, 
eiffel is oo, but what about scheme? i agree that
''objects are a poor mans closures''
and would definitly allow scheme.

i could not agree more.
