As I said, I won't fuel the fire. This is the wrong place for this kind of debate, and you should realise that. Your post reflects immaturity and narrow experience, but I won't be the one to broaden your outlook. Your post contains provable errors of fact, but I won't be correcting them. The subject at hand is SQLite and the super-high-level language SQL, and it would be discourteous of us to forget it.

C# is just a bastardized version of C++ which is a bastardized version of C. If you only program in C# then I guess you have only written code for PC's. A whole other world exists beyond PC's and Microsoft. C# is in no way portable, neither is C++. Only C is truly portable. Both C++ and C# require committing to a specific compiler product which is the antithesis of C. I am often forced to use C++ as the cross compiler platforms (such as C# or Embarcadero (Borland) compiler) force such to use the system GUI, but all of "My" code, as compared to the GUI code, that does the real work is written in C. C++ is merely a wrapper around the C language. C and C++ co-mingle very nicely. > This theme is strongly reminiscent of arguments over moving from > assembly language, and it's basically wrong.

Which is more important: How fast you can crank out code with minimal effort (which means you are letting others write the canned code portion of your code), or creating something new where you do the hard work so the end user has a well designed efficient product? > And just for the record, C# does not compile into byte code.

Which is why Microsoft software is so efficient, fast, small, and lacking of bugs. ------------ Scott Doctor scott at scottdoctor.com ------------------ _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users at mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
