Message: [QUOTE="David Ross, post: 4440400"] This is where I don't understand most people. You can use any language(scripting or non-scripting) to make what others consider overkill. Making usage of available libraries is a good start. Most quit at the mark of not knowing how to use a library. This is 201% untrue. You can use C for anything you use ruby on. I will use C as an example here. you can make a gigantic application faster in C than ruby iff you have proper libraries. One design I like about Ruby is that it takes less time to write code and complete an application. Well guess what, you can do the same with C if you had a nice set of libraries. I am sure most people talk bad about C are not professional at all. Think of C not as a hammer, but as an Anything Object. It can be used for anything(unless you need to pass assembly to unlock processor code). Restricted languages which you could not add to would be considered a hammer, or a screw driver. I think this explaination pretty much ruins the idea of C being a hammer, which sounds rediculous in the first place. ---------------------------------------- -- Name: David Ross -- Phone: 865.539.3798 -- Email: drossruby [at] yahoo [dot] com ---------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
