As I wrote in the answer to dave: c is not c++. The main problem of c++ was actually, that they kept all the c-shit (yes powerful, but absolutely unmaintenable stuff ) in the language. > > > What we have had was mostly alpha-numeric based terminals (remember > > borlands > > gdi?) with maybe 10-20 business functions. > > Now, a pissy web-portal has more functionallity then the whole > > supercalc suite. > > I think that I doubt this assertion.

And by "produces" I mean, tested, working and documented code. I think to remember that it was about 45 loc a day for a c developer, and 55 for a java developer. > As a technical lead, if you show me ten classes each > containing only 20 lines of code, then you'd better be > prepared to explain yourself. There are as many opinions as there are architects/leads/senior developers. Next time you have someone with 10x20 send him to me, we are always looking for good people. > I'm all for using the OO aspects of Java, but not at the > expense of clear, concise code.

Well... Let's say, i have developed a very selective reading, i only read books, which tells me, that i'm right...
