I'd also like to add that this entire thread seems to me to be off-topic. There are plenty of forums for discussing programming and programming languages, but this is list is for discussion of Fedora and as far as I can see not a single message in the thread has any direct relevance to Fedora, or to Linux, or to operating systems in general. If the topic was "which languages are well-supported in Fedora", or even "what is the most appropriate language for systems programming in Linux" I wouldn't think twice about it, but the original question was so general in scope that at first I thought it had to be a troll. After all, what better way to start a fight among computistas than by asking about languages? Luckily it hasn't turned out that way, but it still seems to me entirely out of place here. If you disagree, consider a thread starting "what is the best computer?" I held off saying this in hopes that the thread would just die a natural death, and I'm hoping this comment doesn't serve to prolong it any further, but I felt it had to be said. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
