Anyone who thinks C++ is some kind of magic bullet because "it is cool" is just fooling themselves. You may be able to do some great stuff in C++, but only if you take the time to really learn the language, and it's pitfalls (so you know what to avoid). I prefer C over C++ because there is less there to "really learn". but this is probably one of those personal-preference things which is impossible for any one side to prove their position to any other side... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
