The debate on PL/I vs ADA seems to be becoming a little heated, so to
inject a little levity here is the 'language preference survey'
About as scientific as Mystic Meg, it should cast some light on how we
would like to work. Send an e-mail to me
gardinerr@dcslambert.agw.bt.co.uk) indicating your 'favourite' languages,
in order 1 to 4 (or less, if you only like 1 or 2 languages).If I get any
response at all, I will repost the results from time to time in a grid
like this:
The Language Preference Grid
1 2 3 4
|--------|---|---|---|---|
| pli | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Rexx | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| ada | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| c | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| c++ | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| pascal | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| fortran| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
etc.
Rule:
1) You may not vote for the language you learned first as no. 1. So
'everyone always loves their first language' is eliminated.
2) You may only vote for languages where you have good practical
experience
Game for a laugh, Roy Gardiner
