Ave's Programming language?

Hey everyone,

Just a simple question (mostly for Ave)... what programming language is Ave using to develop AveDesk (and all the other programs that he does)?

I'm just wondering what it is and why Ave chooses to use it.

Cheers!

AveDesk:

C++, language I feel most at home in. Also, using microsoft visual studio, it compiles to small binaries that doesn't rely on extra DLLs files and no extra framework installed (like the .NET framework). In AveDesk 1.2, the UI is done 'completely' using WTL, where in 1.1 some pieces are still 'raw' C functions.

Other apps:

Delphi, VCL is one of the nicest window-frameworks around. And it compiles so g'damn fast :).

Since C++ is your favorite language... here's a funny quote from the creator of C++

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.

-Bjarne Stroustrup

We got that quote in our class where we're dealing with C... I've already taken two years of C++... and now I'm downgrading... :P

LOL @ Menge

f :: (File,DLL) ->  (d->d ) -> Desklet

f (a,b) c =

| exists b && exists a = c (create a b)

| otherwise = error "bah"
