: That's not much of an argument : you guys are talking about a C++ 
: compiler!  _So_ _what_ if the back end is used for other 
: languages?  

The topic says "The numer 1 compiler" (I'm assuming it means number, not
#1 C++ compiler.

: BTW, VC++'s back end is used for Fortran, Visual Basic 5.0, and 
: an upcomming Java compiler.  Visual C++ is also available to 
: produce Motorola and PowerPC code, MIPS, all Windows CE platforms 
: (which use none of these processors). It runs nativly on Dec 
: Alpha, also.

Why not just use the FREE java compiler?  Also, don't even try to bring up
the processor issue since VC can't even step to GCC in this category.
