Currently I needed to “revert" to C++ because I am currently</div><div class="">interested in micro controllers (R Pi, BlueFruit M0 (Bluetooth BLE with iPad app) , RX63N) and</div><div class="">lots of time for it. Yes, one can do crazy things when retired :o) I never get bored. </div><div class="">C++ ;;;;;;; needs a bit of discipline, but in principle any PL is as good</div><div class="">or bad as the programmer using it., I can write unbelievable sh.. in about</div><div class="">any language you give me, even in Swift :o) </div><div class="">My favourite PL is still Smalltalk, I’ve tried to think about merging static language(s)</div><div class="">like Swift with dynamic Smalltalk, but I have the impression those worlds are too</div><div class="">far apart?..i could be wrong here. I could write a lot more about this, but this is out-of-context in</div><div class="">SwiftEvolution I’d say. But the future is interesting, however, </div></div><div class="">let us remain with hope because there are again elections in the US</div><div class="">in 4 years, yeah maybe even sooner i hope :o)</div><div class="">If you’d ever land in Speyer I’ll buy you a beer (or two)! </div><div class="">Kind Regards</div><div class="">TedvG</div></body></html>
