Now you're getting the hang of it :-) You see that pretty much every
language can be called "perfectly suited" or "totally sucks" depending on
what you want to actually do with it. If you want to compare languages then
*first* you need to explicity state what it is you want to do. You can't
just say "everyone agrees language X sucks", because they don't.

Sounds like a good definition of "sucky" to me (if you're trying to write an
app with a Windows GUI) :-D
