Suppose you want to write a new program, something like a text editor. What language would you write it in?<p><pre><code> It has to be as fast as possible, so interpreted languages are out.
You don't want to micro manage memory, so C is out.
You don't want to require programmers to have a degree, so C++ is out.
You want fast startup and not depend on a big runtime, so Java is out.
It has to run on most systems, anything with a C compiler, so D is out.
You want to have fun making something new.
</code></pre>
What a nice collection of horrible arguments.
