So, I downloaded RR and, guess what, it's super fast! It's so super fast that the darn logo spins at about 3-4Hz! My head, oh, my head!!! :barf:
Never mind, RR is fast :D

umm... I've programmed in VB6, Java, C++, and .NET (VB.Net for work and C# for my hobby projects). No one here has seen the CF code (besides the programmer) so we can't really judge how well it's programmed. Not to slam the guy that wrote it, but I'm just saying. You never know. I've never had speed problems with my .NET apps. Like xBrady said already, to say that .NET is slow because CF is slow is a bit of a jump.
BTW, here's Quake II .NET: http://www.vertigosoftware.com/Quake2.htm
and here's Quake II Java: http://www.bytonic.de/html/jake2.html
If they can do that in .NET and Java, I'm sure you can make a very fast front end.
As another example, I'm currently dabbling in Mozilla developement. I've made a front end using an existing skin which loads up instantly and the response is a lot faster than any other front end I've tested so far. it's written entirely in XUL and JavaScript besides a few XPCOM components for XM and interfacing with the OS (hibernate, standby, etc). it runs in FireFox.
Exactly!Quote:

Depends why your learning a new language. If employment is your goal, C++, Java are good choices. If it's to learn, you could look at Ruby,Python, Scheme /Lisp. Not saying the latter are not in demand, not really sure to be honest what the current demand is. I don't follow such things as close as I used to.Quote:

If your not using OO with it (or closures for that matter), you've still got quite a bit of space to explore. Once of the things I love about Perl is how expressive it is. I can write Perl like C, or Lispish, etc. If you know C already, you might want to take a look at the XS inteface or Inline::C so you can include C code to handle the low level, time critical portions. As far as the UI stuff, you might want to look at the SDL bindings for Perl. Once I get rolling with the car computer, the plan is to write everything in Perl (maybe some C via XS) and using the SDL library for the UI.
One more Perl note, if you haven't seen it yet, check out perlmonks.com , an awesome place to further your Perl knowledge.
OK, based on that last post I think I'll stick with perl. I'm very familair with it, I just need to immerse myself in projects once more. Maybe work on my own front end this weekend or something. Please feel free to continue posting, and letting others know your opinions.
I haven't actually gotten around to running it yet, but there's a perl based OBDII logger for use with Elmscan based scantools hereQuote:
