Re: gEDA-user: Languages etc

[Stephen Meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Put you in your place? Hardly. Go relax, drink some wine. Write some 
more code.... but to argue if language A is better then B or C ;) Well 
that to me is like arguing that a horse hair brush is better for 
painting then a nylon brush. If it is for you then keep using it. Have 
at it.

Sorry, I have yet to use OpenWince though I support the idea of jtag. 
Look, listen, use the tools you like, speak the language you like, but 
let others do likewise. As I would hope you would want to be treated. 
Your email to this group was randomly slelected, you were not targeted 
for critisism. So again take a breath relax. It is the idea that we 
should all use one language to put forth our projects that I can not 
accept (as if I was the dictator and I could force the world of coders 
to use only cobol on cp/m). I am sure that those using your tools, 
appreciate your efforts... and I would hope they would not try to 
persuade you to use some language not of your own desire. As you get to 
select your method of expression, to select your own brush, try to 
appreciate the brush strokes of others even if it isn't what you would 
have done.

Code is after all an art form,
