Yes and no. The mindsets of the languages may differ. Try talking about typing with a C-programmer and with an Ada-programmer and you'll see what I mean. That's why the question should not be: "Which language do you know?", but rather "What other languages do you know?" It tells me more about the mindset of the programmer than any "previous 10-years experience with $LANGUAGE". That's why here Pascal-programmers generally have a better reputation than C-zealots. In a land where pointers and dynamic memory allocation are (mostly) forbidden, C doesn't get you very far. :) Vinzent. -- Neu: GMX DSL bis 50.000 kBit/s und 200,- Euro Startguthaben! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02 _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
