In fact there are languages which make it a little more difficult to write nice code. I made the experience when programming in Assembler for instance that "nice" looking code (as far as possible in Assembler ;-) ) was usually awful slow while the "bad" code (or what I considered as such) was fast. Assembler is for sure an extreme example. But if I compare ASP or Perl with Java or PHP I would say with Java as well as with PHP you can make your code quite nice. Everything is relative. Of course the more you are familiar with a language the more you adapt to the intentions on how to solve particular problems in the particular language. In many cases one need to get behind the intentions and the ideas of the language (or library) designers how they were thinking. If you work completely against the language philosophy (maybe because you are just used to solve particular problems in a particular way), you usually get bad code and introduce more bugs. But to get a real good feeling for a language you must have worked for a while with it. -- Martin Wildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
