Well, you are quite a machine. If you say so, sure it's so, but that's not the problem. Anyhow there are tools, editors, etc. that can easy that fact if you feel confortable with then. I usually spend under 5% typing my code, I spend a lot longer thinking what I have to type, and I DO spend quite longer debugging and improving my code. And herebye I challenge any C Coder to maintain a program faster and neater than in Pascal (I say C, 'cause your comments about Python and other script language I assume it's a joke). Anyway as Michael would say, a can of worms has been opened and we are not going anywhere. If you want to stick to Python, stick to it, but Pascal is another thing. JMR P.S.: BTW: Never heard of anybody doing serious programming in GNU Pascal (and I know many a programmer doing serious programming in FPC and even VP) _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
