Not everything is "the web", there is still a huge industry for desktop and server software. What language do you think Linux kernel and Windows kernel is written in? PHP? Python? What about high performance 3D graphics applications? Do you think those are written in Flash ActionScript? What about real-time audio signal processing plugins and audio workstation software... they would be pathetically slow if they weren't written in C or C++ (and maybe even some parts using assembly langauge). Can you imagine a library like fftw (http://www.fftw.org/) doing mathematical transformations if it were in a scripting language? -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi
