Gaetano,
I've been using C++ for 15 years and Java for 7. I like them both. Every
language has its pros and cons. C++ can be extremely powerful in the hands
of someone who knows how to use it.
I actually wrote the first version of Pl/Java in C++. However, I got strong
advice to rewrite it using plain C (which I did) to get maximum acceptance.
Kind regards,
Thomas Hallgren
