BASIC programmers get stuff done. I suspect that there is more stuff done everyday in some variant of VB than by all of the "non-programmers" (accountants, small buisness owners, teachers) than all of the real programmers out there. Java programmers are probably the least happy next to COBOL i would suspect.. C programers might be really quite happy. I'm noodling with Python, it it seems to fit my personality and ideals. Perl seems to have much more of a cool factor though I will admit that. I challenge you try to find a coder who has used Delphi and did not like it.. --- On Fri, 4/9/09, Lyle <[email protected]> wrote: From: Lyle <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [BristolBathPM] The Programming Language with the Happiest Users ?

Wait a minute... Does the date correspond with that blogging challenge?
