I usually always use C and have not found any reason to switch to python, sometimes it however happen I use C++, there is a few tricks with C++ to avoid dynamic memory allocation on heap which make it a little bit more complicated. Then there is of course cases then dynamic heap is needed but these I have in principle been able to keep out of real time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
