Ah, THAT one. Okay, agreed. Man... you almost gave me a heart attak when
I read up to "C is about five times as slow as..." part. :)

On the other hand, I'm starting to seriously doubt lately that developer
time to implement should have any weight relative to ease of maintenance
afterwards. But that is me - I don't do lots of prototyping, and trying
to maintain, debug or optimize anything OO is not a particularly pleasant
endeavor. My usual thinking goes like "why, oh why didn't you spend an
extra month in development to write something that could be maintained
later? Would this extra month kill your business? Of course not. But it
would save you LOTS of money today".

Best wishes -

My informal testing indicates that C is about five times as slow as a
modern OO language.

Of course, I'm talking about the only count that matters -- developer
time to implement ;-)
