Hello, I'm a new programmer and also a 'will be new developer'... A thing I've wondering is: perl and even shell scripts, or what ever like this, seem to be very much slower than any program written in C. I think C programs would make the debian package management system a lot better and faster ( I could not install packages in my 486 without having a headache =( ) I disagree with using perl and other languages to "speed up" coding because I think (and I like Debian 'coz I've seen this on it) quality is much more important than quantity... I would like to see dpkg installing debs with all the process being controled by C programs (look, installing packages in my K6 II makes it very slow!!) that's it On Mon, Dec 04, 2000 at 01:39:44AM -0800, Chip Salzenberg wrote: > According to Philip Brown: > > WELL-WRITTEN C code is better than badly or even mediocre most > > anything else. -- Gustavo Noronha Silva - kov /******************************************************* *http://www.doctorkov.cjb.net * *GPG Key: http://www.geocities.com/dockov/html/pgp.html* *irc.debian.org -> #debian-br UIN: 20766822 * *******************************************************/
