Not to be rude, but as I''m reading over this thread, I''m seeing everyone say almost exactly the same thing over and over and over again Kinda funny.


Well if loads of people are saying it, it must be true surely?

...well in the middle ages, most people would say that the earth was flat.

this case though would be more like everybody looking at a marble in your hand and saying "it''s flat".... more evidence is what''s guiding these decisions... not old folk tales.

WHy not assembly? well, if we all started using assembly, hmm, there goes 10% of all programmers since they dont know assembly .

Yeah, if you think like a computer, which we dont. Humans have a knack for Objects, so Object Oriented programming is alsmost natural, sorta .

I''m also an assembly lover, but check this out:

- Coded your routines in asm, optimized it, then realized you wanted 32bits numbers instead of 8bits...Problemo!
- Or now you want float instead of int...muchos problemos!
- Tightly optimized your proc, now you want to insert a tiny command...restart optimization of probably entire proc!

If C then easier.
