Better answer to which question ? Are you recommending Python as a language in which to write OO software or a language to know with which to get a job ? I don't doubt that Python is a good language in which to write OO software, but I have not seen a huge demand for Python programmers in the market place. I think that this is the point of my posts that you are missing. What's good software engineering practice is not the same as what's going to pay my bills. You might remember that a couple of years ago COBOL programmers made a huge comeback. It wasn't that anybody thought COBOL was a great language, but the Y2K thing made those people VERY employable. I guess the question I'm asking is not "If I want to write OO software, should I choose Java or C++ ?" but rather "If I want a job writing OO software should I choose to learn Java or C++?". > > Bill > > ***************************************************************** > To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. > ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
