Comments and Reviews
A marvelously adaptable language, effectively usable in broad range of domains from embedded to complex GUI applications. Supports OOP, functional, mixed paradigms. Very flexible with "out-of-the-box" features for event-driven, database, GUI, cross-platform apps, etc. Integrates with C by design.
