Please leave individual language forums such as comp.lang.c++ or comp.lang.ada open for people to ask questions about their individual languages and hopefully receive answers. Some of us have been reading comp.lang.c++ and/or comp.lang.ada and/or comp.lang.xyz for several years now, and have read literally dozens of these inter-language "comparisons." We have heard many of the same "comparisons" made between the many of the same languages many times over. The only result has been that some of the most experienced programmers refuse to read or contribute to their particular language groups anymore, finding them too much of a waste of time. These comparisons seem to do nothing to convince programmers to switch from their favorite language to another one. Please then, can we try to leave the individual language forums open to discuss the individual languages, so that programmers programming in their favorite languages can at least be as informed and intelligent about that language as possible?
