I love it. I've been in the profession since 1976, and I used UNIX at Gould Computer Systems Division for a solid 5 years between 1985-1990. I've been using FreeBSD since 1.1.5 (I think that's what came with a book I bought). I love programming, but I hate the level of detail I need to address in most of the latest environments. Visual C++ should be MUCH more functional. I've been programming in C since '83 and C++ since '94, but I'm always on the lookout for higher level languages that will lessen my load. I want to write small apps for personal use on my own machines and I never seem to have enough time to learn new languages. I started to pick up Java some time ago, but they keep tripling the language... I do plan on learning Python and using it to access GTK and QT... Again, thanks and I hope other people benefit from your response... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Friedrich 5112 Mount Holyoke Drive Louisville, KY 40216 StevenFriedrich@InsightBB.com (502) 447-7730
