[QUOTE="green slime, post: 3772039, member: 1325"] Why am I not surprised that someone would say this? Because, as Nifft points out, there is a lot of terrible software out there, that gives this particularly public language a worse-than-deserved reputation. Well designed, it need not run slow. Yes, once a blue moon, you may on occassion run into memory management problems. I can't say it doesn't happen. But neither can I say that it happens more often than errors I see when other programming languages are used. I can't say I've seen any major problems with the browsers I use. But nothing, nothing can exceed the frustration of the Windows OK button "An Error has Occured: OK" WTF?!? How informative is that? Now personally, I could care less for Mac, but it isn't worth the effort (purely from never having ever used one). However, I'm very much in favour of making software as independant of hardware and operating systems as possible. The gains made in terms of portability, ease of use, and creating a common user experience far outweigh any minor hiccups over perceived "memory management" issues. [/QUOTE]
