He's some senile old fool that's stuck living in the past.

Poor Fabian is too stupid to learn new tools and techniques. So he's stuck 
in some dead-end job using the same tools that people used back in the 
1970's and 80's.  I bet that his Betamax player is soooo much better than a 
modern Tivo.

The world has passed him by. Some are able to adapt. Others become extinct.

I would hardly call cache hit/miss management, pipelining, and
parallelism vestiges of the 1980's.  In fact assembly language
programming for full utilization of the processor potential,
and especially concerning SSE/AVX parallelism, is vastly more
difficult to master that cheap OO coding.

But Ezekiel is brainwashed.  He has been conditioned to believe
that machine language is passe when it actually is at the forefront
and the bleeding edge.

Try it sometime.

I find it fascinating when someone like you says, "What I do is the only 
worthwhile thing in the world to do, and everything that others do is 
inferior." Points to a small-penis-complex issue.

What's better: a pen or a pencil ?  Salvador Dalí used both.

My extensions to Visual Studio 2015 are written in C#.
Were I to write an extension for FireFox, I'd use JavaScript.
Most of my code is Visual C++ but, mostly, it looks like C.

The "language" used is rarely an issue. Unless there's some restriction that 
VS extensions have to be in C# (or another managed language) or that Emacs 
extensions have to be in Lisp, etc.

The work of programming/software development is being able to understand the 
problem and to then figuring out a way to solve the problem. Once the 
solution is figured out and known - the actual language used to implement 
the solution isn't that big of a deal in most cases.

Well, now you are starting to make good sense.

But it is all moot.  Try presenting this argument to the average employer
and it will fail miserably.  The truth is that any programming language
can be sufficiently mastered for most purposes in a very short time, but
very few employers realize this truth.  For them, problem analysis is
secondary, if even that, to demonstrable experience in a specific language.

A few years back a friend of mine wrote a web-server in bash. A bit odd and 
unconventional but it was certainly creative, took some problem solving 
skills and got him a job with ITA software (which is now owned by Google).

ITA Software used to have a "programming challenge" on their website. 
Interested in a development job... solve one of the programming challenges, 
email your code/solution and maybe you'll get an interview.

His web server written in bash was certainly different and interesting 
enough to get him in the door. It takes a lot more clever thinking and 
problem solving to write a web server in bash than it does to write yet 
another string class.

No one cares about your VS macros.  This is a *physics* group.

So how do you use your Windows machine in support of physics?
What kind of scientific plotting/graphics software do you have
installed?  What kind of computer algebra and/or numerical
simulation packages do you employ?

Tell us about using Microsoft Windows for physics.

Well OK, there's an idea. I'm in the middle of rewriting AlgLib ... now down to 150,000 lines from where it was before I got a hold of it (300,000+ lines). Wait till I finish crunching down LaPack (all 750,000 lines of it). I just finished crunching down AutoMath yesterday (from 5000 lines to beautifully-laid out 1000 lines) and am in the middle of completely redoing CFront, Indent, Bison, Flex, BYacc/J, VLC, Audacity, DarkWave, having just finally wrapping up a 2-way spectrograph <-> sound convertor.

On UNIX with GCC.

I've had Windows crash on my present machine in April, February; in 2014 in October, February; in 2013 in December; on a previous machine in February 2014; on an earlier machine in 2013; several other times on other machines.

At a certain point the pattern finally becomes clear ... so that at last I finally remove the problem by removing its cause -- Windows. Now suddenly all those old programming projects and other items on my to do list are finally getting done (on UNIX) where *real* programmers, *real* programs & source code, *real* program libraries can be found in plenitude along with all the tools needed to make your own. None of this mediocrity-ware for Middle America and Point and Click End-User Widget nonsense. Just look at all the stuff on my G++. Try to get PhotoShop (or video editors) to do any of that.

Microsoft is like the Sears or McDonalds of the computer world and any who continue to stick to it date themselves almost as badly as making regular use of the USENET does.

And here I was thinking USENET predated Windows by 10-20 years.
Must be my poor old mind playing tricks on me again.

Don't say "Sears."  Sears is a very good retailer with very good stuff.

Microsoft, however, will soon be like the "rent to own" business where
the user will end up paying, in the long term, thousands of dollars for
software that is only worth less than a hundred.
