Throwing a tantrum doesn't strengthen your position any, and *that* is something a great number of developers - of all sorts - are clueless about. Why don't I try educating "him"? Because I don't have time to teach people things they really should have learned elsewhere? Because I don't really have time for a debate I'll never win? Because people have an unfortunate tendency to stick to their chosen ideology regardless of the quality of the argument? Until people go out and start learning and using other languages and tools, I doubt there is much I can do to convince them of anything because there is no shared context. Furthermore, until someone has actually tried doing something different and found it lacking, they have no argument. So making uneducated claims about the utility of C, without knowing anything else, means you've already lost the argument. -- [Geoff Washburn|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~geoffw/] |
