go away with c++, nobody wants that .. (my body doesnt at least) integer go farming jodel .. hahaha ;))
anyhow, do some java, its gonna do good ...... and yes, (try) kepp it REUSABLE, thanks (its hard enough, i cant even reuse my own code, ;) (no matter what lqanguage) (am i doing some "wrong", (very) probably(?))
all the experiences i ve with java so far, its only related to speed , but not in any way to quality of code bound to by the way of the language .. its also ultra advantage = networkability .. which is in some way (or the other) rpobly part of the the future .. (*giggle*) but still, have you heard of perl? ;))
you can still do java stuff which leaves you thinking longer than it takes the program to run, so much as for speed ,, sorry for gettgin esoteric ..
