Quoting Ondrej Certik <address@hidden>:
I agree witht the arguments that you presented. Especially with "There are veryfew programming languages that have invented anything new in the last decade or so". But now comes the point, which seems natural to me, but where we disagree - why don't we then just use a language which is the most popular? (It doesn't have to be Python, it can be Ruby, or any other, but I think Python is the most popular).
I'm sure the question is well-posed. How dos popularity relates to effectiveness at solving programs? By the way, how do you measure popularity? By numbers published a couple of years ago, there would be about 9 millions programmers on the planet, out of which 3 millions are claimed to be C++ programmers. -- Gaby
