i have *used* C++ not to mention i was a lecturer in sweden specifically with object orientation. so, i am very familiar with multiple inheritence (yes, you can do it in java, just not the easy way) and templates.. everyone knows the triangle of death with multiple inheritance though :) C++ and Java are very similar, Java is just more strict/forces you to a corner. > > but, there is a time and a place for choosing languages > > Definitely. :) and, i prefer C over Java on palm ;P > >, and, limited resource based embedded systems dont normally end up well > > with C++ :) > > If someone doesn't want to use the resource-intensive features of C++, they > don't have to. They still get the benefits of "a better C." thats true, but, what defines a better C? everyone should worship k&r :P > > it is possible, but, i bet you could squeeze more with C code than with > > C++, from both performance and size/usage requirements. > > I bet you could squeeze even more with 100% assembly, couldn't you? :) absolutely :) how do you think liberty was written? :) -- Aaron Ardiri CEO - CTO Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
