OK, I agree with you that C++ and Java are better than Ada (though I have no real experience with Ada) however I have to disagree with you on something here. 99% of software isn't written in the commercial sector. I don't think you realize how much the government uses computers or you just choose to ignore it. This, combined with private software and such, makes commercial software a much less significant portion than you stated. This may seem like nit-picking, but I felt it had to be said because the basis of your argument seemed to be that commercial software is a much more worthy cause because that's where all software is developed- and I felt this argument was flawed. Anyway, I'll leave this thread now, hoping to never venture back. -- atomly@my-dejanews.com (atomly at mindless dot com) http://pimplimp.hypermart.net http://members.tripod.com/~atomly -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
