Comment: Pascal v/s C (Score 2) 487

by frodo from middle ea (#37907084) Attached to: Things That Turbo Pascal Is Smaller Than
When I first started learning Pascal, I had a real hard time wrapping my head around the concept of a Pointer, and struggled with pointers and related concepts like linked-lists etc. throught out the time I had to use Pascal. I was using the Schaum's book on Pascal.

But under 'C' it felt somehow very natural and easy to understand, never had a problem with 'C' pointers, and data structures. R.I.P. DMR, your book really opened my eyes to the wonderful world of computing.

A lot of commercial software installations on Unix require a X session. e.g. Oracle. Not that I am condoning using X on servers, but sometimes it's a necessary evil. Secondly if you have memory overhead issues due to a few X sessions, may be it's time you took a good look at your infrastructure and consider an upgrade of equipment.

About the only downside is that there aren't current C# or Java bindings for it.

Umm... Qtjambi (QT's Java bindings) has been available for ages, although recently Nokia transferred the ownership to community, but from the looks of it, the community is very active and the releases are on track.
