I think you meant to say "C++", not "C". In any evernt, your "primer" is rather lopsided. If your goal is really education rather than advocacy, you'd note the drawbacks of using generics. There are more than one, and if you really understand generics, then you can probably enumerate them. To me, the biggest drawback is their resistance to static analysis (the human kind!). True, Python already has features that make static analysis difficult, but there's no reason to make the problem worse if you don't have to. Generics can be very useful, but so far in TG I haven't seen a case in which the cure is better than the disease. -- Tim Lesher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
