[mythtv-users] MythTV vs. Freevo

[Joseph A. Caputo]

This is starting to get off-topic, but...  IMHO C++ is not any more or less 
"high-level" than Perl, Python, etc.  The main difference is that it is a 
compiled language rather than a scripted/interpreted language, and as such 
introduces extra learning dependencies, such as using compilers & linkers, 
writing makefiles, and explicit memory management.  However, the features of 
the language itself (syntactically) are not any less "high-level".
