- You've got to be joking if you think Pascal has anything on C or
- especially C++. Right now I'm being forced to take courses in Pascal at
- my college. What a complete waste of money. I know both languages (
- Pascal and C++, C++ I learned on my own ), and when I'm told by my
- instructor I have to write a program in Pascal, all I can do is grown!
- Maybe you're right about _small_ programs compiling more efficiently under
- Pascal, but when you really need muscle, there's no beating C++. It's
- just so much easier.
