Isn't this true for every other languages such Python, Perl, and Java? They were written in C at the core. If the language in use can't provide the functionality needed, then yes, I see the need for C. If using C just for optimization, then aren't selling yourself short for longer development and maintenance time when too many languages involved? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
