Assembler's great! I love coding with it, it's like a thrilling game and a real challange - and that's what makes and keeps coding interesting! I also tried OOP with Borland Turbo-Assembler (I started programming with DOS...). But you're true, it is not powerfull (this means in a way usefull!!!!) enough to handle big projects! In this case a good object-orientated, abstract implementation (and that's what KDE is!) is in my opinion the only usefull way to go. --> C++ as a good way between system and high level (and KDE/QT IS high-level and abstract!) > Actually, java's much nicer: it's just swing, AWT and the Sun run-time > which suck. I like gcj a lot. Never tried gcj, but i will if you say so! But I think that programming with java hides so many interesting and sometimes iportant system-level things from the programmer, that it is nice to start with and learn OOP, but NOT to write big, powerfull apps.... > Sorry about the outburst, but I was provoked 8-) No problem, there will never be one "right" opinion about it and thats good! But we should all be able to discuss about it and present our pros/cons. Imagine there would ONLY be either assembler or java; wouldn't it be damn boring??? > > I never hear this, "Windows for Teletubbies", but it's nice;-) What you > > said about the audience: > > It's a very popular televison program for pre-school children in the UK > broadcast by the BBC. Sort of Televison for Windows users.
