So you're suggesting that instead of creating languages like Ruby, we should create libraries to more complex environments like Java to make them faster to develop with? Variety is the spice of programming

Phones in Japan all make the clicking sound (which you can usually choose from several - a camera shutter sound, "cheese!" etc.). I believe it's for similar reasons - so people can't take photographs of people incognito in trains etc.
Yes but, I guess the spelling "Viet Nam" doesn't need fixing (unless the reply was fixing something else?).
If I remember correctly, Viet Nam is how the Vietnamese write it.
Bullshit. An idea is useless until it is implemented in the same was that any other potential is useless until it is realised. Once implemented, its success is a combination of how good the idea was and how well it was executed. Giving either party too much credit for the outcome means not giving the other enough respect.
I'm a big believer in paying for both talent and effort. If your idea took you 10 minutes to come up with, but took a programmer six months fulltime to flesh out and implement, you don't deserve 90% of the credit no matter how good your idea is. But you don't deserve 10% either, if your idea was informed by years of experience *and* you were an active participant in the development process.
Finding business people who understand this, as a programmer myself, is harder than it should be.
What about wxWidgets? As far as I know it's as good at QT, and doesn't have the same license problem
