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 _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
