- C is a much better C than C++ is.

- Java is a much better Java than C++ is.

- Smalltalk is a better implementation of the OO paradigm than either
- Java or C++. It was intentionally designed to implement the OOP
- paradigm with no compromises. But for every tool, there is a set of
- problems for which it will be better suited than some other tool. The
- optimal problem spaces for C++, Java and Smalltalk are not the same
- (although there is some overlap). And there are languages in the world
- other than the three mentioned--but the newsgroups line doesn't contain
- any of their newsgroups...
