I did not say the choice of, I said the advantage and disadvantage of;
there is _quite a bit of difference_ between such statements. If I had
said the former, I would agree with you, but as I said the latter,
I'll remark thus: in use they become very apparent, to anyone whose
used much of either style.

Designing and using a language are different things.

I'm not a person who believes in mincing words off the first date, so
I apologize (OP included) if my choice of words were too harsh.
There's no intention of attacking or defending anything, just of being
concise!


Two things I learned at an early age, a C programmer can write C in
any language - and making Adam into Eve is probably a bad idea.
