Using a dynamic language you don't running in to problems you would with other languages like C. The common script languages have protections for thier programmers, and I find it most difficult to trust other peoples code at most. The more you use "safer" languages, the less you are able to learn about the problems. The less you learn about problems the less you tend to not think about several methods of programming and your skills are not as good as a C programmer. Ruby certainly does reduce programming time, but reeks in performance. Its not as simple as to "send patches". The ruby design is fine, and most likely will lways be improving. C programmers have to think more about design and safety. With Most scripting languages which have safety protection force the programmer not to even think about the underlying code. With this, this is the proof of why scripting language programmers are not as good as per sey.. C programmers. I am sure this is what lothar was meaning by "But to be honest i think the most people using script languages are not very good programmers" ------------------------------------------------ -- Name: Daid Ross -- Phone: 865.539.3798 -- Email: drossruby [at] yahoo [dot] com ---------------------------------------------- _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
