By efficiency I mean the quality : of machine binaries (code space, execution time, etc.) : given an identical program coded in several languages. : Thanks : -- : Robert.Bethel@CBIS.Com A problem with language efficiency also deals with the programmer's skills. I had a customer who asked how I changed the COBOL to have my application run 5 - 10 times faster than the equivalent from another vendor. I informed him that the language and compiler were the same, the programming different. Lawrence A.
