I am currently perusing through the megathread. Expect my comments in the coming days.

Programming languages and styles really are a religion, isn't it?

Hello CptPicard.

Thanks for the comment. Wow, you actually read that one?

You can say that I am fed up with worksofcraft's posts (and his/her tone) that I felt compelled to post that reply.

Reminds me of the goto controversy (I am reading Knuth's paper on the subject right now) and the whole concept of structured vs unstructured programming languages.

Apparently, worksofcraft is still posting on the thread.

I always come back, to defend what is right and true. PT seems to still be floating around in the darkness with their bit-paddles and prematurely optimized canoes.

Pure chance! I read a post asking about which programming language to start first, which lead me to the "how to learn to program, and Linux programming" sticky where I found a link to a thread which contained your post.
