Assembler's great! I love coding with it, it's like a thrilling 
game and a real challange - and that's what makes and keeps coding 
interesting! I also tried OOP with Borland Turbo-Assembler (I started 
programming with DOS...). But you're true, it is not powerfull (this means in 
a way usefull!!!!) enough to handle big projects! In this case a good 
object-orientated, abstract implementation (and that's what KDE is!) is in my 
opinion the only usefull way to go. --> C++ as a good way  between system and 
high level (and KDE/QT IS high-level and abstract!)

Never tried gcj, but i will if you say so! But I think that programming with 
java hides so many interesting and sometimes iportant system-level things 
from the programmer, that it is nice to start with and learn OOP, but NOT to 
write big, powerfull apps....

No problem, there will never be one "right" opinion about it and thats good! 
But we should all be able to discuss about it and present our pros/cons. 
Imagine there would ONLY be either assembler or java; wouldn't it be damn 
boring???

I knew teletubbies, but not the expression "Windows for Teletubbies"...
