Maybe the statement misses the important aspects, such as Sun's marketing around the Internet - opposed to refrigerating DoD policy -, or the C syntax, to preserve traditions - an important thing: the big rule is not to escape too far from the 1960s... You can write anything, with delirating chronology ("new"=cool, "old"=disliked). Read on ZDnet that C is a successor of Modula ! http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/stories/news/0,4164,2604847,00.html Here, something appeared yesterday in news:comp.games.development.design - a thread with "Java=slow vs C=fast" & Co, BTW: << Java is based, in more than one way, on Ada, and thus I guess you could say that Java is at least in some ways the spiritual successor to Pascal >> ! Very spiritual... The better is to enjoy programming and produce (Ada) resources that could contradict with examples all that blah blah... IMHO. ______________________________________________________ Gautier -- http://members.xoom.com/gdemont/gsoft.htm
