>>I suppose it is the same trade off between low level efficiency and fast development that has been going on since programming began. << Agreed. >>I miss programming in Assembler,<< I don't. Not programming in assembler has cost me a few years of my life in solving compiler bugs. This is why I returned to it. I assure you: it was a REAL pain in the ass being used to the comfort of high languages BUT I have fewer bugs now AND they are much much easier to find. There is one, extremely important advantage to programming in assembler instead of other languages: all the bugs are YOURS! >>But I would expect OO to make programs less buggy.<< In principle, I won't disagree with this. BUT! Isn't it LOGICAL to speak the language of the computer instead of learning another language that is ultimately translated to machine language anyway?
