I think you're making a dangerous assumption here...but anyways, I have nothing against C or C++. In fact, the first language I learned was C++ and I highly enjoyed it ... especially in the Emacs environment. But, as with all languages I've learned through the years I've coded with- each one has it's uses. Perl is not always the language of choice nor is C++ or Delphi or Java or ColdFusion or *insert other languages here*. Each has their advantages and disadvantages and a good developer will choose the appropriate platform and language for the job.
