Good points. Agree with you completely.

>Yes Jos,
>In my reply to Kelvin's another thread I stated something like that. I even find it almost impossible to compare C# to C++ or core C :)
>If my main problem was solving things like 'Towers of Hanoi', 'How can you put 8 queens on a chess board w/o threatining each other', 'natural language parsing' etc etc as it happened to me in old times I'd still be using Prolog or oCaml but nothing else :)
>My reasoning is simple to choose my language(s) for any project :
>-Can I do it with these language/tools
>-Does the language conquer me or me is conquering the language/tools
>-How much on the average does it take to code/test/debug if I used one or the other
>-Performance if I'm able to do it in more than one
>-Can I mix them for the best of their advantages
>So in conclusion in fact I'm not comparing languages but the marriage between me and the language :) Biggest problem how many of them could I marry in my short life.

>>Hi Cetin. Yes I suspected this since we then split data retrieval and data convertion to xml into what, imo, are more logical and optimized operations. But as you say, a true comparison needs to optimize tests in both languages.

>>In any case I think the comparison between C# and VFP is not meaningful since it ignores the purpose to which a langauge is to be used, ie it ignores using the "right tool for the job approach".
