Uhm, wow, Tyler .... You do understand that for certain cases, Java is
actually faster than C++, right?
Try learning about java
Take care,
Sina

Java?
I'd rather not wait 10 minutes for a for loop to complete 5 itterations,
thanks though.
C++ is very "character building," and has many uses beyond API calls. Just
because you can do something higher level doesn't mean it needs to be done.
I like the control and the ability to control everything with c/c++, as
other programmers do. It also teaches you the internals of your operating
system and compilers, without just floating around there like every other
person who uses a high level language and just programs without knowing how
things work.
Thanks,

My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features.
