If you can't handle complexity however you can't get any far with programming... getting only past the language barrier is just pointless.<BR/><BR/>On the other side I think that fighting with ugly syntax, type declarations, explicit memory allocation and deallocation for the parts of code in which speed is the LAST my concerns is not the paradise either. So welcome Python ... if you know what you're doing :-)6502https://www.blogger.com/profile/05363357723920755709noreply@blogger.com
