Actually I wrote that because the last time I looked at the shootout some years ago it's description was quite humorous, it clearly stated that it is completely flawed and should not be used for serious things. It even made it hard to recommend FPC by linking to the shootout because it's description made the shootout look like a joke! Now I entered it again and it's main description clearly invites people to choose a programming language based on the shootout results and the word "flawed" is nowhere to be found. It looks like the shootout was take over by trolls! -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
