G'day aoll.

Quoting "Benjamin L.Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Interesting argument.  At first I thought that the following
uncensored interview with Bjarne Stroustrup was a joke, but your
argument makes it seem all the more plausible:

That's not quite what I meant.  What I meant is that Visual Basic script
kiddie-ing may well be easy, real software development is hard.  C++ is
a hard tool to use well, but that's because it is doing a hard job.

Some say that C++ was intentionally designed to be extremely difficult
to use specifically in order for C++ programmers to earn those "big
bucks."

Maybe this is just me, but if I had to choose a tool, I'd choose one
that would be easy to use well.

A paintbrush is easy to use, but hard to use well.

Cheers,
Andrew Bromage
