LOL ... My personal predilections come into play. I'd much rather write straightforward C code than any kind of Java or C++ ... mostly because I'm much more familiar with it and it has always proved to be far more portable and easier to compile and link on any system if I was rigorous about not using compiler/linker specific language extension features.
For similar reasons, the step to Objective-C is much easier for me than shifting to Java or C++. Objective-C is just a small, tidy set of extensions to the basic C language that allows for nicely encapsulated object oriented design. Forgive this digression into my dark, geeky past ... ;-) G On Jan 24, 2007, at 10:58 AM, Boris Liberman wrote: > Godfrey, my point being that Java can be used in order to create > *reasonably* portable and *reasonably* cross platform code.
