First, let me say that I really don't wish to get into a language war. With us bickering and argueing about which language is the biggest and baddest mother of them all. With this said, here is my opinion: > >I agree that assembly is the only true language, all the other ones are > >only child of assembler. There is (and I doubt ever will be) a language which is the "true" language. The language that kicks everybodies tail and is accepted around the world will probably never exist. Programming languages are just like operating systems (please, don't even get started on that one ;). Every language has some reason why it would be better for some specific use. Speed-assembler, cross-platform support-C/C++, parsing and quick prototyping-perl and I could go on and on. Instead of "Which language is the best?" the question should be "Which language is the best for task X?". And even then, there will be several answers. ;) Eian
