That's the point I was trying to get across. C and C++ have their place, just as Java does. There is no one language to rule them all.

I know, and you can't get around Java, and I can even write Java code, so I do know what I am talking about, but I do prefer C/C++, as it is native code, and can be ported (with some effort) to other platforms. Originally Posted by techieMoe

One thing I dislike more than Java is .NET. Because of both ideology and technical aspects.

One of the things that I think is a major limitation of Java is its lack of multiple inheritance. I know that a lot of respected engineers think that's a good thing, but when modeling real physical systems in software, I have found that lack difficult to work around. Example: base clase house, base class boat, derived class houseboat. It has the characteristics of a house (bedroom, livingroom, kitchen, bath) and a boat (floats on water, can navigate bodies of water, has some method of propulsion thru water). Since it is really both things (house and boat), having only one of the base classes is not really illustrative of the thing itself. So, since a houseboat is derived from both base classes, you can manipulate or access its "house" state, and you can manipulate or access its "boat" state, and either is appropriate in the correct situations. You can pass it to a function that steers a boat, and you can pass it to a function that cleans a house.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
