Dependence on Programming Experts

[Stephen Barncard]

They wouldn't be here if they didn't want to be. Besides, it's 
instant karma -- often they need help too.. so it comes around. This 
is the wonderful non-technical part about Rev - the online community 
- who can easily become your friends.

Don't be afraid to ask on this list - it's what it's for!! Gurus 
weren't always gurus... -- if you doubt me, look at the ramblings of 
some of the future 'gurus' you see here in their early days with rev 
- in old Rev list archives...
heh heh  - yep they asked "dumb" questions too.

As far as the complexity of the language - the builders of any 
language have to trade off complexity for versatility - and the 
programmer is in charge. How can you expect a program do everything 
for you automatically and at the same time have all the options 
available?

  At some point, actions have to be described, and Rev is a lot easier 
than C++ to read and understand. But one still has to apply some 
classic rules and techniques of programming.
