Re: Black Plague + Eu concerns
Hi
I am sick to death of Eu/RDS bashing.
I love this language. It does exactly what I need, its dead easy to write. Its
dead easy to understand. Its fast. Its cheap. (not free, cheap, who caeres, I can
afford it). Its cross platform.
I love writing in this language. I wrote a program in C, with debugging etc,
that took me 4 years. I'm at the same stage with this program in Eu after 5
months.
The libraries do what I need, yes they are written by the community, and they
probably are better for it. Anything they don't do, I write with my own specs.
I choose not to want / learn OOP, but its there if other people want it.
Yes, the program comes with dos / command line examples, which just demonstrate
the absolute bare bones of the language. So do the various flavours of C / C++ (I
believe).
So we can't interface IMMEDIATELY with c++ libraries, just with one call. So
what. Find another way of doing what you want.
I like the way the language is, I like its simplicity.
My ONLY (absolutely tiny) little gripe is the fact that this is a list and not a
forum, where the negative posts could be shunted off to a separate thread which I
didn't have to read.
(I've actually said something like this before, the response was that if the
points aren't raised then things won't change. Fair enough. On the other hand
hand if you don't like the way things are, then stop whinging, find another
language. They all have their pros and cons, but damn sure Eu has more pros than
all the others)
Just my 2p worth.
Chris
