Hi!
Your sentence concerning tool vs. target is as right, as trivial Eek! | :eek: . The question was - the best language TO LEARN programming (at least, so I've understand). And although I've started with Assembler/360 and PL/I (are you old enough to hear about it?), here I suggested C, because I think it is the pure programming culture, not damaged with these OLE, MFC, and other ActiveX.
Once more, it's my opinion, no one has to follow me.
Regards,
Gennady
