Absolute GARBAGE I hate dealing with this language, it needs to have some fixes that don't go all nutbar into C++ polymorphism, operator overloading etc. but people have given up and now it's Python as the latest fad language. Sigh. --- End quote --- That's the reason why I thought in the 90s that Pascal would become a more used language than C. But in the end, C has remained a first-rate language, while Pascal or ADA hardly has a niche. |

Time to hit "ignore thread", at least for me. |

Have to side with Cerebus here. The argument was void (excuse the pun). |

You ask me to address your points, and when I do you simply ignore what I present and accuse me of looking for an argument. |

It received no response whatsoever. Apparently facts are unpalatable when they are contrary to people's emotional beliefs. |
