- There would be less problems for humans concerning HOW to program what they
- want, if:
-
- - some fool didn't mix two languages (C / C++)
-
- - computer languages were kept simple, using only a very limited
- syntax : nobody really needs strange operators and constructs
- (if you want a REAL confusing language, listen to the one you're speaking,
- it surely beats C/C++)
-
- Maybe everybody forgot WHAT they want to program and for who, because I
- wonder what everybody's programming, and if it's finished,
- if anybody will ever see or use it.
-
- Probably a lot of people are building utilities to make utilities for
- updating utilities that print numbers ( or something like that )
- I must say however that it keeps you busy and of the streets...
