These languages are hard to learn, >have zero applications, and people who only know these languages can Apparently you are again one of the infamous stuck up C programmers who think they are a programming god... well i got a newsflasg for you... i own Turbo Pascal, Turbo C++ and of course QuickBasic... i have/am successfully learning QuickBasic and Pascal... the c++ on the other hand... blah... language is a matter of preference... I like basic, pascal, and some scripting languages like Visual DialogScript... that is my preference... but do you see me in the C newsgroup saying C and C++ SUCK. Basic, Pascal, and Script are the only languages you need... no you dont... and about the zero applications... my mother works for Noland co. a rather large HVAC Distributer company(sells heating/cooling and bath stuff to small companies) and i would have to inform you that every damn Load and Calculation program they have(I am guessing(cant remember exact)about 30 programs i have seen in use and read about) are all written in Pascal or other Pascal-Like languages... the only thing on there computer even written in C or C++ is the damn operating system... oh heheh yeah this to: Pascal is EASY to learn
