Oh, here we go again . To most normal people, Computer languages
are not religious issues!  However, we do enjoy discussing pros and cons
of various languages. In fact, to me, the reason I enjoy discussing the
merits and drawbacks of specific languages is precisely to *avoid*
turning the language into a religious (read "irrational") issue!

An off-topic language discussion/debate doesn't equate to languages
being a religious issue!

Well, now, that I'm *completely* off topic, I'll just say bye :-)
