Dan, et al,
programming language that is everything to everyone is nothing to
anyone.
Not if it does the job. (You'd really like to switch between different
programming environments to create bits and pieces of an
application?) Isn't C a programming language that is everything to
everyone? Is there something one cannot program in C alone?
Why would any Transcript scriptor want to write externals in C or Pascal if
she could use Transcript syntax instead?
I think I've mentioned this before: Dan, I believe you, like moi, have
suggested to C programmers new to Transcript that they will find
Transcript's "verbose" syntax to be greatly more productive in terms of
lines of code needed to accomplish a given task. So why would you want to
use a different, less productive programming language to write
externals? Would you feel the same if you had to write externals in
Assembler or machine code?
