Lots of people also seem to pounce on the latest hype, thinking that latest equals greatest. (I suppose that's what makes up a hype.) Those who realize that C has serious problems typically hope for a new language to solve those problems.

At least that's the impression I get. -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD omb jor ers @sv ge. r o.b n.p son eri nu
