Thank you all for the input this is GREAT I have always liked Procedural languages as well as compiled languages, I tend not to like runtimes. One of the Major reasons for FINALLY ditching Windows, cold turkey and switching to OpenBSD, was I felt that Windows in general made it hard to code in C, and i didn't see that changing, with the new whizzbang WinFX .NET mess.
that said, is it not a wise decision to develop a large AJAX / PostgreSQL application (For a government client), where the code base will be around for a certain 15 years(the current application is FoxPro 2.6 1991 Runtime) Security is Paramount(hence the OpenBSD over Rhat Choice for the Operating System, and PostgreSQL over MySQL for the database) it would seem to me that C is PostgreSQL's Native language and OpenBSD developers prefer C the uphill battle may be worth it. I am Searching the Internet for a Basic Hello World Ajax sample written in C if anyone has one laying around please reply to this post Sam Fourman Jr. On 10/24/06, L. V.
