Le 25/09/2010 16:54, Renaud (Ron) OLGIATI a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> On Saturday 25 September 2010, my mailbox was graced by a missive
</I>&gt;<i>   from Farfouille&lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">farfouille64 at free.fr</A>&gt;  who wrote:
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> If one compare a C/Gobject program with its equivalent in Vala, it is
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> obvious that it will have fewer bugs in Vala version, just because there
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> less lines of code hence less places where bugs can hide.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> This argument does not hold water. I used to program in APL, progs were
</I>&gt;<i> usually very short (a complex prog had less than a few dozen lines), and could
</I>&gt;<i> be full of bugs.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Cheers,
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Ron.
</I>Please don't compare APL with the languages aforementioned.
Quote from Wikipedia about APL :
&quot;Because of its condensed nature and non-standard characters, APL has 
sometimes been termed a &quot;write-only language 
&lt;<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-only_language">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-only_language</A>&gt;&quot;, and reading an APL 
program can at first feel like decoding Egyptian hieroglyphics 
&lt;<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphics">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphics</A>&gt;. Because of the 
unusual character set &lt;<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_set">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_set</A>&gt;, many 
programmers use special keyboards 
&lt;<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_keyboard">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_keyboard</A>&gt; with APL keytops for 
authoring APL code.&quot;

My argument is about C/Gobject and Vala not about any languages. Vala 
has been developed with the goal of easing Glib programming. That's why 
the comparison of program length makes sense.

Cheers,

Farfouille.
