[gameprogrammer] Re: why Always C++

And when you get down to it, you can create structs with functions in
them.  :-)

Truth to tell, I stayed away from C# for quite a while, mostly because
of its partial resemblance to Java and its tendency to make an object of
virtually everything.  Now that I'm past that I'm beginning to like it. 
If it weren't for potential speed issues I'd probably start doing games
in it.

Choice of language is a personal thing and a comfort thing.  Don't let
lack of understanding of a language stop you from taking a look.  It
might have some things about it that ease your burden or provide
something that's lacking in another language.
