You and I have seem to have a similar history here. I read like 7 books cover to cover and became an "expert" on C++. I guess I took a little longer than you to get fed up with it, though. My C++ usage really came to an end when I started using Ruby. SOOO much easier and more consistent. User friendly. Now, I use Ruby for everything, except GUIs, where I use Java. For school, I'm using Ruby for genetic algorithms. When I desperately need performance, I write a C extension for Ruby. I'm no longer obsessed with maximizing performance of the machine. Now, I want to maximize my performance as a programmer. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
