Motherfuckin', piece of shit, bourgeoise, craptacular, fat ho-fucking, razor dildo-sodomizing, pinko, commie, hippe-ass hunk of steaming hobo droppings.

This is all.

Hey Malcolm, I guess it's a good thing you're planning to teach. Considering what you are learning. The real world would be harsh. :)

I'd be curious to hear all y'all's opinion of the RPG language. It's so old that the style is almost like making punched cards on a CRT.

No joke.

Which version? At it's best, I'd say it's a poor-man's C. At it's worst, well, I think you described it.

Anything Pre-RPG-IV (which includes RPG-400) is olde style. Your columns need to be aligned, etc. RPG-IV and beyond got a little more fre-form and C-like, but it still has an image problem.

If I had to guess I'd guess there's more RPG-3 code out there than there is 4.

Motherfuckers are forcing us to do this.

Go to the prof : "How do I do this in TCL/TK?"

Prof : "I dunno."

Asswipes.

Fucked with Swing earlier in the semester. Just reminds me how bad OOP can get in some situations.

There's a role-playing game language?

Maybe that's why Duke Nuke'm Forever is taking so long.

They should have changed languages too.

If you can't Google it, it's not worth knowing.

What's so great about C#? Proprietary and stuff. One day, MS will dump it for something new, just like VB.

Ewww that is an accurate description, now let's never speak of that again.

Heh, I made a lot of money making those virtual punched cards. ;-)

I think C++ has more long term potential. I don't trust anything that's tied to tightly to MS.

Well, Bjarne Stroustrup agrees with you, but reality doesnt.
Data from analyst firm Evans Data, which carries out regular developer surveys, appears to contradict Stroustrup's claim that C++ is growing. Evans Data has found that the percentage of developers using C++ has steadily declined over the last six years--from 76 percent in the spring 1998 to 46 percent in fall 2004. But it expects the rate of decline in C++ developers to be "considerably slower" in the next few years.

Janel Garvin, chief executive of Evans Data, said it found that Java use has declined slightly over the last few years. "Java use in North America continually increased until it peaked in 2001 or 2002," Garvin said. "Use has decreased slightly since then across the board, but remains strong."

John Rymer an analyst from Forrester Research said that Stroustrup's estimate of around 3 million C++ developers is "plausible." Forrester Research's latest survey found that C++, Microsoft Visual Basic and Java are used by many companies in their production systems. The survey, which spoke to more than 100 companies, found that C/C++, Visual Basic or Java was used in production systems by 59 percent, 61 percent and 66 percent of companies, respectively.

Imagine that. . . VB is high on the list. . .

VB has come and is on it's way out. C++ is still here. C# will be here as long as MS thinks it will help it make money, then it's replaced. I just trust an open language more than a proprietary one. I'm not going to argue that MS doesn't have market share. I'm arguing that MS will change it's mind again and kill C# one day.

Keep hanging on to fortran too, while you're at it. And (non-Visual) Basic.

Keep being Bill's bitch!

But really, not sure what you mean by Fortran and BASIC though. Implying that C++ = Fortran/BASIC? I think that's reaching.
