Same here. It was in IEEE Computer magazine a few months back. ( For those who don't want to read it, the conclusion is (basically) that programmer skill is more significant for the quality/performance of a product than the language used. Also, scripting languages (python, perl, tcl, rexx) require less LOC than traditional languages (C, C++, java) (at least for most apps). ) | If you're serious about making unmaintainable code check out the following: | | http://mindprod.com/unmain.html Cute. -D
