Hello? This is EUPHORIA, not C. Here are a couple of multiple choice questions: What is most important in making a programming language ? a) That its a good, practical language b) That its not C. Are structures unique to C or were they added to C, because they were so helpfull in other languages ? a) True b) False Do you have some sort of emotional disorder, which makes you want to compare everything to C, problaly due to some tragic experience with C ? a) Yes, thats the reason I can't shut up about C! b) No, I just make this statement about C, because here on the list everybody is against C, and this way I'll be liked. c) No, I dont like structures on itself, and C has got nothing to do with it. What letter comes after A and B in the Alphabet ? a) G b) C c) respectively B and C Do you actually have some experience programming C which you base your judgement about C on ? And do you consider C to be the same as a feature 99% of all languages have: structures or at least so much the same, such an argument in actually of _any_ (?) meaning in the discussion ? a) Yes b) No Ralf nieuwen at xs4all.nl -- And no, this is not a flame. -- This is me getting sharper, when I have to repeat myself, because everybody keeps starting the discussion up over and over again, *instead* of going against any arguments given. If this offended any one... oh well.
