I know your opinion is the behalf of many programmers, maybe also advanced programmers, but my opinion is not the same. Though I'm a junior programmer in C/C++, I also haved learned "many" programming languages --- C#, sql, javascript, xslt, python(yes, I learned it). When I was using sql, I complained that why sql not use the same string processing functions as C#; when I was learning javascript, I made the same complaint; when I was learning xslt, I complained once more; and when I was lastly learning python, I became so angry, why all these languages do the same thing but with a different funtion name? I hate it! So I decide I won't learn any other language, I will only use C/C++(and assembly if necessory) in the future, I cannot bare the waste of time those scripts languages bring to us programmers any more. thanks > > > -- > Eduardo M KALINOWSKI > edua...@kalinowski.com.br > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.orgwith a subject > of "unsubscribe".
