Suggestion: Testimonials For C Programmers

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

If one monitors any list conversation for any length of time, one 
soon begins to identify certain issues or questions as FAQs.

I suspect that "why can't I script 'counter++'?", "how dare I simply 
initiate an event without knowing if or where it will be processed?", 
and "isn't xTalks syntax amateurish?" are strong candidates for a Run 
Rev FAQ list.

I would like to find a way to minimize the amount of replay these 
issues receive on the List, and one thought I had was the compilation 
of testimonials from Revolutionists with a strong C background 
directed for presentation to fellow C programmers evaluating Runtime 
Revolution.

I propose this because, during recent conversations on the subject, 
while many of us spoke passionately on behalf of xTalks, and some 
such as moi were a little more blunt about our feelings regarding C 
syntax, the responses that I felt focused on what C programmers would 
find most pertinent came from Revolutionists who are well grounded in 
C and can relate real-world experiences demonstrating substantial 
productivity gains.

Were I among the powers that be at Run Rev Ltd., I would encourage 
opie, Alex, & others who contributed to the discussion in that vein 
to assist Run Rev in preparing & publishing a testimonial for C 
programmers from former C programs.

...and perhaps a similar testimonial for Real/Visual Basic 
programmers from former RBers/VBers.
