This guy just seems to like hearing himself 'talk' or post his
pronouncements on news. Until I saw Rachel Madow talk about the NRA's
attack ad mentioning Obama's girls, I'd only ever come across trolling
here in news groups. I don't frequent web-based forums much. This guy
is spouting philosphy and approaches, purely, I think, to evoke a
response. With the news groups this thread has subscribed, he's
certainly getting it.

I don't have a computer science degreee but I've been writing software
for 30 years and managed servers and projects that worked and lots that
didn't. The "what language should I use" is most often answered "Which
one do you know the best and how soon can you get this written?"
Fortran is fine for computational stuff. C for LOTS of things. I still
haven't drank the OOP Koolaid yet, but php's implementation of that
seems OK. Perl's is just weird. I learned what languages I needed to
do a job.

So far, I haven't seen anything remotely discussing a concrete goal. I
can't talk about 'modern' languages because I haven't bother to learn
them.

Mr. Crankypants, are you trying to do something in particular or are you
complaining that Obama's kids get special treatment?
