Actually, it's more the debugger than the language itself that I have problems
with.
Everybody's all over themselves to tell you how to program, whether it be in
Pascal, Modula 2, C, C++, Java, C#, Prolog, Scheme, whathaveyou, but they're
a little shy I find, when it comes to explaining matters like the debugger,
etc.
Anyway, that's just my observation. Everybody else writes perfect code, I
assume ;)

Mau e ki, "He aha te mea nui?"
You ask, "What is the most important thing?"
Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata."
I reply, "It is people, it is people, it is people."
