You're right, I should have said ``costs dearly in either compile time or run time, and in either case (for projects with many debugging runs) programming time.'' My point is that I can't afford to make that choice except for projects where the compile time or run time is going to be very small no matter what language I use. That's rarely the case. ---Dan
