Ahem. I don't think the language, the OS, the editor, or whatever else it is people like to argue about, have a relevance here. Each language was (yes really) designed and thought out by someone or someones. It may be that you need a particular mindset to understand how some of them work, or to be able to use some. There are people who get equally frustrated using * (insert typical unix language here), and are quite happy doing VB etc.

The only problem zone is the person doing the coding, especially if they already have that mental shield which says '* (insert OS here) is horrible, * (insert language here) is yucky' etc. Maybe some languages are unlogical/unfathomable to some people, but thats not the fault of the language.

Having said that, yes, some people are better off with some languages, and less good with others, then they should find the one they likeare good at, and get a job in it.

C.

NB: Im a VB/Perl/C++/SQL/.. programmer, and find them all logical in their own ways..

• 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.
