This discussion is getting a bit religious, and I'm partially to blame. Lest this degenerate into a "my favorite language is better than yours" brouhaha, let me try to close it out as follows: o By all means choose The Best Language for the job. o Don't try to dictate what The Best Language should be for others. Languages solve problems. The problem Modula-2 solves for you may not be one that everyone else has. Ditto for C. o When issuing a comparison of two language products, benchmark timings (particalurly the seive, Grrrr....) and price are not sufficient. You *must* consider support. -- David W.
