Yep, I think Niklaus Wirth was absolutely right about C++. ;-)
I still don't understand why the industry chose C (and later C++) when there was Pascal. Or DOS when there was the Mac. Or VHS when there were BetaMax and Video 2000.
By the way, I am not a Pythonista, I only spent some days with it to find out what all that hype is about. To make it short, I did not fall in love with it, but there are some very good books about it written by people who truly love the language. I think it is hard to beat Mark Lutz' "Programming Python" or Alex Martelli's "Python in a Nutshell". Beautiful works, both of them.
Anyway, it's time to call it a day. ;-)
