Just wait. In my lifetime, C will be in the museum, and everybody will use interpreters. Even the interpreter writers. >> Your "I have to wait" assume ... I didn't say I have to wait. I said I'm content to wait. Should I have bought a multimillion- dollar computer twelve years ago that would be worthless today? Not on my budget! Thirty years ago, EVERY programmer used a multimillion-dollar computer. Twenty years from now, NO programmer will. That's the trend. Get used to it.
