Whoa. Thanks for the link -- I was actually at some point considering maybe to get into the Java field instead of being stuck with C/C++ at work, but after reading that page, I was completely dispelled of the notion. I think I would lose my sanity after 5 minutes of clicking through those endless submenus, typing out XML by hand (argh), and writing 50 pages of Java legalese and setting up 17 pieces of scaffolding just to get a Hello World program to run. Whoa! I think I need therapy just skimming over that page. This is sooo over-engineered it's not even funny. For all their flaws, C/C++ at least doesn't require that level of inanity... But of course, if I could only write D at my job, that'd be a whole lot different... :-P T -- Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth. -- Alan Watts
