I'm pleased to discover I am not alone in this, although I couldn't
have phrased it as succintly or as accurately as you did. And I
enjoy assembly programming, but I find graphics programming far
too tedious.
I haven't tried VB or VC++, I must confess, perhaps I fear to
discover that there are shortcuts out there, as long as you kneel
to the right religion. Oh, yes, there's vtcl out there too, but
my prejudice against generated high level code gets in the way of
me using it :-(
Is it all a matter of language idioms, then?
