I have absolutely NO use for C++, frankly – I think it is one of the biggest boondoggles and wasters of system resources ever committed upon programmers. So I'm not likely to worry about development in that direction. I actually would prefer to write in asm, if I had the time. I don't, so I've compromised and moved to C, mostly. C++, however, creates incredibly slow, bloated code – to the point where I can't tolerate the performance at all. Too big a step for me, I'm afraid, at least until code generators and C++ precompilers and/or compilers improve about 3 orders of magnitude. I completely agree that a nice intuition interface designer would be wonderful, but I always thought is was CBM's job – one they only sort of did with a halfhearted attempt (that gadtools thing). I'm sure SAS could do a good job, if they thought it was worth the time… obviously not now, of course. –Ben …via AutoPilot
