I want to make game parts, mostly - i look forward to contributing to open source games and game tool kits. so i really do want to know what is the *best language*, in terms of programming pleasure and potential performance. unfortunately the interpreted languages are right out because of their performance, and that knocks Java out of the ring, too. C and ForTran are fast, but they lack the pleasure/orderlyness that comes from OO. It looks like my options are C++ (and|or) Ada. -- jsnX
