I would agree with what you say except that I know there's an incorrect and harmful prevailing attitude out there that "scripting" languages are in some way inferior, because they don't create "real" programs. Honestly, I don't think we'll get the C/C++ people to stop looking crosseyed at us until we have an optimizing compiler that produces platform-specific native binaries, and I don't think a bundlemonkey approach (binding the interpreter and the bytecode together into an executable package) will do the trick. It's stupid, something that's only needed because of misconceptions that people have, but I'm pretty sure it's necessary, politically, for at least one major VHLL to have this before we'll be able to finally do away with the whole issue.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
