OOP Programming ...

[Ben Duncan]

And me, the opposite. Having done C, Cobol, ASM and other such stuff
and now entering the OOP realm, find it confusing.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have done a lot of stuff in Python and
like it.

Java, on the other hand, has the appearance of being designed by those
who have just consumed 2 liters of Turkish Expresso in 5 minutes.

Yes, both have their places, and I do not mind having hacked kernels
before either. Just make sure you post the changes back to the maintainers
or they will eat your a$$ out big time.

And I will agree, at least on the surface I see C# as being what
JAVA should have been. It is, however, unfortunate in that it carries
a lot of legacy WindowBlow crap along with it.

But from what I can see, the DotNet / DotGNU and mono are gathering
momentum, and for once, I would like to have something that everyone
wants and needs ....
