I'm getting the impression that you might think that C++ is a high-level language. If that's the case... it ain't. > Only in rare occasions does this > complication actually come with a commesurate performance increase. You You're speaking of "developer performance increase", yes? I concur that C++ slows down development.

If you're talking about C++, I agree. However, C++ is _not_ a good representative of a high-level language, or even of an OO language. -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
