These religious wars never (will) end!

The wars that have been going on since the development of C++ has been going on in between those who praise C and those who praise C++; nice conversation with Linus Torvalds of other preachers[^]. By the way, I am with C! ;P

As long as you keep posting links to intended-to-piss-people-off seven-year old articles: well, yes, the war is still on ... at least in your head :) cheers, Bill

good for you - I am with whatever language enables me to model an abstract idea in my head and turn it into something a computer can work with - at the moment, c# fits the bill, although Im not adverse to c++, c or a slew of other things as required (obviously I have my 'preferences', but I'll keep an open mind if I cant solve a situation using what Im comfortable with 'right now')
C# prophecy is yet to come; so they don't fight right now! ;P

True, but that was still amazing how people would fight for nothing. ;)

I prefer a metaview -- your choice of language will not make you a better programmer. Conversely, if you are a proficient programmer, you can apply good programming practices regardless of the language (even assembler) that you're working in. The expression "garbage in, garbage out" is one side of the coin. "bad programmer in, bad program out" is the other side. Marc

Nice saying... :) By the way, how can bad programmer in, bad program out make sense? Bad programmer would always make bad programs.

Mr. Torvalds may be the super smart creator of Linux and Git (quite a feat, I'll give him that!), he's still an asshole :) The best mr. Kakurin could've done was just ignore such rudeness. By the way, I believe mr. Torvalds is aware that he's an asshole and he's pretty much okay with it.

Not necessarily - they could get lucky. Doesn't happen very often (if at all) but it could. Conversely, it's very easy for a good programmer to create a total pile of steaming waset material if he doesn't pay attention.

Erm, like most pithy sayings, one shouldn't think too hard upon them. Marc

But even PHP?
Actually yes. I took some really crappy PHP that someone had written on a project I was working on and turned into well documented, nicely encapsulated, and most importantly of all, unit-testable code. So, as it turns out, PHP is decent, it's just the abuses of the idiot that wrote the PHP code that gave me a bad taste for the language at first. I'm also really impressed with the online documentation, particularly the actually useful additions that people contribute to the docs. That's quite rare. Marc

I won't find it compelling for he create Linux or Git, because I don't use either one of them. :laugh: I use Windows and Team Foundation Server; Microsoft geek I am?

That is a signature-quotable Marcism if I've ever seen one ! Congratulations. I am tempted to say that: if the hand that holds the coin is ignorant enough they may not even know which side of the coin is which, let alone the denomination of the coin. But, I decided not to say that. Whilst reading your remarks a little voice in my head kept reminding me of your recent (excellent) rants about working in Ruby, but I think those were by the other Marc :) cheers, Bill
