RE: Aaron Bartell's RPG/Java comparison

I have made lots of $$$$ writing RPG, so I'm loathe to criticize my bread
and butter.....

My favorite tool in my toolbox is the one I need right now.  I was hanging
my speakers for my home entertainment system the other day... I loved my
drill when I needed it.  Once the hole were drilled and the screws put in, I
didn't care where the drill went. I only cared about the speakers and the
sound I was going to get from my system.

RPG is a fabulous languge to write it... limited? sure... but nothing beats
it's clean syntax and it's "shorthand" approach to coding.

Java is a great, too.  Knowing Java make the Internet a less mysterious
place, and gives me the tools I need to develop the channels I need to get
to my customers via Internet.  

To me, it only makes sense to use the right tool for the right job.  Imagine
if I had used a hammer to drill the holes for my speakers... or worse, a
table saw.....  

It's like arguing who the best bass player is... (everyone knows it's Flea
:-))

my two cents,

dan

Right.  So you're supporting my point that the langauge used has little to
do with it and the programming does.
