Absolutely agree! Joao, also consider this: if all programming languages would be usable in the same way there would not be different programming languages at all. The whole point of having so many of them is that they all have a different set of features which make solving some types of problems easier than others. There is simply no programming language which fits all kinds of problems equally well. you better get used to the specific ways to solve problems in the languages you use. Please do not expect all approaches to work in all languages equally well. You're not using a saw and a drill the same way, do you?
