As you can see from my just-written message, I do agree with you,
Viktoras! As for C/C++ mania, I think that language has gotten into
the mainstream vocabulary here in the US at least. The others you
mention are not as well-known except possibly for Java. I'm glad
European clients appear more indifferent to such details as language!

I guess it would be also fair to say that GUI will be created using
Revolution RAD and definitely one can expand it with modules written
in C++/C.
BTW correct me please, this may be wrong impression, but it looks like
C++/C adoration is something specific to the USA, isn't it? I know
many IT companies in my country and elsewhere in Europe who "do not do
C" and deliver their products (accounting systems, research software,
etc...) in Delphi, Java, Abap and the fact that they "do not do C"
seems having zero impact on their successful businesses...
Best wishes!

It still sounds as if you're failing to probe the question/

it support? Is it a concern about robustness? Is it a matter of
internal
company policy? What were they expecting it to be written in? C?
Python? Perl? VB? It will take different things in each case to
answer it.
Imagine someone is delivering a proposal to a company you work for,
and when
asked exactly that same question, replies, it will be written in
Scheme. She goes on to explain that she is more productive in Scheme
than any other
language, she can deliver cross platform apps of the sort you are
asking for
in a tenth of the time, and she offers to do an instant demo for you
of
something that would take several hours in C, in about 10 minutes.
What do you say to her, and what do you think, and what do you say
to your
colleagues when you talk to them about it?
