I'm not now a programmer but i'm in a course of software engineering.
I maded some personal software with Turbo Pascal and some scripts with
the shell of Unix.
Why choose that kind of subject:
- because i use GNU/Linux and i think that public software is a great
thing.
- i'm interesting in programming, and particularly in oo because i'm
curious and perhaps i will program.

I post it to have the point of view of programmer, responsible of
project, ... cause of their different experience(s).
The real goal it's just to propose some tables to find the right
language for a type of deveolpment.
I think that each language have its own area of applications for a
type of development:
like Perl for rapidly create a test cleint for a smtp server
developped in C ...
I'm not interesting , YOU TOO a suppose, to find the badiest or the
best language but just the most usefull language for a area of
applications and a type of develpment (rapid, big project, ...).
I tried to find the most general criterias which be applied on each
language.
I use this interview to obtain a real result by a average of all
result.
