If one monitors any list conversation for any length of time, one soon begins to identify certain issues or questions as FAQs.
I suspect that "why can't I script 'counter++'?", "how dare I simply initiate an event without knowing if or where it will be processed?", and "isn't xTalks syntax amateurish?" are strong candidates for a Run Rev FAQ list.
I would like to find a way to minimize the amount of replay these issues receive on the List, and one thought I had was the compilation of testimonials from Revolutionists with a strong C background directed for presentation to fellow C programmers evaluating Runtime Revolution.
I propose this because, during recent conversations on the subject, while many of us spoke passionately on behalf of xTalks, and some such as moi were a little more blunt about our feelings regarding C syntax, the responses that I felt focused on what C programmers would find most pertinent came from Revolutionists who are well grounded in C and can relate real-world experiences demonstrating substantial productivity gains.
Were I among the powers that be at Run Rev Ltd., I would encourage opie, Alex, & others who contributed to the discussion in that vein to assist Run Rev in preparing & publishing a testimonial for C programmers from former C programs.
...and perhaps a similar testimonial for Real/Visual Basic programmers from former RBers/VBers.
