Subject: Re: Use Java! Was: becoming a better programmer From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 22 Sep 2002 00:00:39 +0000 Newsgroups: comp.lang.c++,comp.lang.lisp,comp.lang.java.programmer,comp.lang.perl.misc Message-ID: <3241641639682709@naggum.no> * Pascal Costanza | I disagree - programming languages always reflect the values and belief | systems of their designers. That's why there's always these flame wars on them | - languages are strongly entangled with social aspects. If they were neutral | (like, say, mathematical notation), we wouldn't have those flame wars. As if there were no flamewars over mathematic notation! Just look at the history of the notation for derivation. Genii at war is no less pretty. Note that only people who care, care enough to fight. -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
