I started really getting into Blitz recently, but must say I prefer C++ by far. It's a steeper learning curve, but it seems a lot more structured imo.

The only draw back is a 100 line Blitz program is a 300 line C++ program

But then on the other hand, blitz is a engine, probably coded in C++? Anyhow, once you code your self an engine or use some open source, you need just as few lines to program in C++.
My point: it depends on what libraries and APIs one use with a language.

What? Have I completely misunderstand what blitz is?

Edit: I really wonder what you are implying... I was just trying to make a point which isnt obvious at all to beginner programmers.

If blitz was an engine, then c++ would be an engine. Heck, Assembler would be an engine...

Blitz translates the code into assembler, doesn't pack a library and just run it...

Not sure if that made any sense, though.

Good point, but that depends entirely on how we define engine. Now I don't say that my definition is correct or in any way better than some one else's but what I mean by engine (or engine code in this case) is the code that automates the usage of underlaying library layers from user's (code'r) point of view.
