Hi guys. They're all about strong typing: "Strong typing is for weak minds" "Real programmers do it in C" I really don't get these statement (I know what strong typing is). Are those true or false? Could anyone mind telling me ?

They're just stupid quotes, nothing to stress out about.

Everyone has opinions... These quotes come from unemployed programmers who were not willing to learn new technology and be flexible. IR

LOL, or you can be like me and learn C++ right off the bat :) i'm thinking about learning C# this summer.

"unemployed programmers" Is there any other kind? ;-) "Strong typing is for weak minds" This one gave me a chuckle...Strong typing is when every variable has a specific type, and conversion from one to another doesn't usually happen "behind the scenes." I consider C, C++, Java, and Visual Basic to be strongly typed, particularly when compared to PHP and Perl. I don't know if these opinions are standard or not...You can sneak a little in C types by using pointers. "Real programmers do it in C" C is one of the harder, and more popular languages out there. It's partly a joke because other languages do so much of the work for you, but at the same time, A program written by a competent C programmer will outperform the same program written in any other language (excluding assembly) nearly every time. But you pay for that performance with portability and the cost of paying somebody the extra time it takes to write in C. I don't know why I've rambled on so much...I better hit submit before I start talking about VB pansies (a group to which I now belong)... -SN
