Why was C++ invented? To give programmers jobs. No other reason whatsoever, C does whatever C++ does just as good, and better. At that point, you just showed to be very closed-minded. (C++ does have an accurate object model, which improves a lot. Yes, you can do similar things with

1) Yes %=% was 10 times as fast. But Anything of simple complexity like using a model object request %=% to get ugly real fast with many getters and explict casts. There is a massive tradeoff in simplicity when you have the following: ${myObect.myGetter.aValue} Ahh must I repeat this

Hello - I think I was unclear in what I meant. I am not talking about presentation of code, (hell assembler can be presented well!) what I mean is that using JSTL and EL forces you to abstract yourself from the business tier as you have restricted ability to handle the data. By using embedded

Hi Ivan I heard same story for assemblor supporters about C 30 years ago : Slower and not better. Fact is that today's software are larger than 30 years ago. Tools just cannot be the same as complexity is exponential to the size. It is not one good tool, you have tools adapted for each job.
