Can someone _PLEASE_ explain why there is so much discussion about what
language is the _BEST_ ?
As a new reader of this news group I obviuosly don't know the underlying
reasons for the high level of discussions on the suitability of one
language as opposed to another (namely Ada and C++).
Why are people so fixed in their attitudes?
As _ENGINEERS_ why don't we use the best tool for the job instead of
sticking blindly to the one we like the best?
Or is Software Engineering now becoming a religion where faith and hope
reign?
