hi, i am looking for a programing language. i know the basics in both java and c++. i like the class structure in java and its 'feel' but like the simplicity of c++ (except classes) and the fact c++ is compiled not to mention the compadability due to that on systems lacking JVM. is there a programing language with the best of two worlds? thanks

The other day I ran into this...

Compiled language, there's a comparison here...

what do you mean the best of both worlds? you just said that you dont like classes. wouldnt a language that combines c++ and java probably have classes? maybe you are looking for c, or assembly or something else that stays from that scary high level stuff..

i dont like c++ classe4s, but do like java classes

yeh i see that.. i misread what you said.

What platform are you using that lacks a JVM ?

Smalltalk is an interesting complement to Java and C++. Not sure if any implementations will compile to native code, though. Smalltalk is a very simple language, and is fully object-oriented.

python is not inbetween c or java, it gose further then java and is a more extream implementation of object orientation. I include this cuz may be you dont want a language in between cpp and java, but one that goes beyond java.

Python is a pure object orientated language and dose not have primatives like javes int, and boolean. Every thing is an object. I make this as a sujestion, it might be worth looking at.

I would also sujest you ask you self some more questions like what do I want to do. If its writing a device driver use cpp if its some thing else you could probebly find a language to do it in thats a bit easier then cpp.
