Maybe I'm in the minority on this one (perhaps because I haven't been programming in C++ for 20 years? :)), but with the exception of a few quirky dark alleys, I don't have any big issues with C++ for OO. I like the fact that I have the low-level power of C when I need it, as well as the OO stuff. You gotta admit, a statically-typed OO-language is an enormous challenge any way you slice it. I think it fits its rather unique set of requirements -- one of which is to remain mostly backwards compatible with C! -- quite nicely, while still remaining mostly pretty elegant (like I said, except for a couple dark alleys). Naturally I'm a big fan of languages like Python as well (or I wouldn't be here discussing this!). Just probably wouldn't write an operating system in it. ;) _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
