Saying that Robot C is a good example for a compiled language is like saying that watching porn is a good example for a healthy sexual life...

  And if I said that, your joke would even have a point. Instead, I pointed out the parent was incorrect, there as a compiled language on the list, of which I offered no opinion as to it's quality. It's definitely algol related, so is a reasonable transition to C/Java et al.

    This was exactly the point of my post ;) Your original post is very similar to mine - they both don't make a valid point and they both don't contribute to the discussion (I also never said, that you said that). It is like the old programmer and manager joke... A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, 'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I Would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am.' The man below says, 'Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, Hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees North latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees West Longitude.' 'You must be a programmer,' says the balloonist. 'I am,' replies the man. 'How did you know?' 'Well,' says the balloonist, 'everything you have told me is Technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your Information and the fact is I am still lost.' The man below says, "You must be a project manager." 'Yes, I am,' replies the balloonist, 'but how did you know?' 'Well,' says the man, 'you don't know where you are, or where You are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to Keep, and you expect me to solve your problem.'
