All computer computer languages are only as good or
bad as the person
using them.
True words. I'd rather work on a program written in assembly language,
done by a _really good_ programmer, than a program written in _anything_,
done by a bad one. (My classic example: that MOS OS done by Jim Mathis
in PDP-11 assembler.)

I've always said a bad programmer can write bad code in any language.
That said, language features that help a good programmer write better code
go a long way.
