 		 #180808 - to Jan and others
Responding to: ???'s previous message
as I posted somewhere in this thread
"after decades of asm only, when forced into C it took me a decade to make it my preference"

I do believe that Jan is at the point where for him going to C will result in a temporary dip in productivity just like going from 8 teeth missing to a set of false teeth will result in a temporary dip in chewing speed.

I truly believe that if Jan were to do 10 years of C only he would end up with C as his first choice.

Anyhow as it is difficult to predict, especially the future, I am not posting this as a fact, but as a thought based on the fact that many years ago I would have been an ardent supporter of Jans points.
