Some languages let you do anything you want, like Forth and assembler: good code, bad code, mediocre code, excellent code, atrocious code. Others only let you write mediocre code. Ok, you *can't* write terrible code, but then again you can't write excellent code either. And so you will never learn to write excellent code. Such languages cripple the mind by enforcing the concept that mediocre is the end goal. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
