I can't take this any more!
Pierre,
I think you should go back to school and learn what C is really like bfore
pontificating on the complexity/non complexity of it! But that's we love
about you, you're always so full it. Does the P stand for Pretentious or
Pedagogue?
Fact is, Easy Language is not easy. That's the biggest marketing misnomer!
For example, not only are there about the same number of data types, but the
data types in Ensgin are easier to understand because they are like all the
other programming languages out there. The code below has 18 lines in
Ensign and 13 lines in EL. Take out the Average function and you've got
18/15. Not that different! The EL was written by the programmers who wrote
the language. The Ensing was written by a trader! Also in Ensign the
concepts are directly transferrable which means any real programmer can sit
down and begin punching out code in no time AND turn around and use that
knowledge in some other language. Learning EL is only useful in Tradesatan
and nowhere else. None of this Numericseries, Numericsimple bullshit!
Who's ever heard of that! Not only that but Ensing is fully documented and
there are tons of books aobut how to program in Delphi. If you're new to
programming, Ensgin is repleat w/copious examples on how to use. For Queasy
Language you get a 4 or 5 word description in some stupid ReadMe file then
you have to hunt examples down in the indicators. Until recently, no books
just some stupid class for 500-1000 bucks. I can understand why you
consider that acceptable documentation since you've never bothered to learn
real code. The only thing EL has going for it is the Omega list with
generous people you can ask qustions to. Ensign has normal product support.
Fact is, the Ensign code is not only easier but WAY MORE RELIABLE TOO!!! A
new progammer could ramp on Ensign as fast as they could ramp up on VB
because they're almost identical and there's lots of examples out there to
learn from.
Go stomp your sour grapes someplace else.
