              I am using C++ and Qt. Been doing that since sometime in 2008. Since then I have one application that is in production and a second in development. In this time, I have written about 100K lines of code in Qt. Before that for 10.5 years I programmed in MFC and churned out 500K to 750K lines of MFC code for the 5 or so major projects I have done with MFC. With all of this said I work in an industry that is always trying to push current hardware to its limits even today. Being forced to load 2GB images on a 32 bit windows OS because the most recent driver created for US 5 million pixel displays (that cost about $10K US each) was written for windows 2000 is the kind of task I handle.

                Probably just you (and the other Mac developers). Objective-C is a good language, with the NS library. I used it from 90-95 (on NeXT boxes). Delphi and C# are good follow on languages - slightly different syntax, but the same basic services. The real issue is learning the class libs, and all three have good (but different) class libs. C++ just required to much BS that was not handled by the IDE (but should have been), I hear it has gotten better, though.

                Opacity, the new Transparency.

                  :laugh: nice replies everybody, let me clarify: I referenced "object C" just to point the trend to address mobile devices, phones, pdas etc... you don't link apple? think google, think open source. my question is... what the youth think of programming? what's their perspective? Is the current moving from the forementioned technologies to something new? Ultimately, what real men program with today? ;)

                    And you ask this in a forum where the average age has got to be over 30, not the best place. The bulk of these geeks are developers with many years experience and multiple languages and you ask them what the "youth" thinks.:~ :doh: Go ask that question in the ASP forum you may have a better audience but then the question would be irrelevant!
