[mbaranski]

Advantages:

Extremely powerful, fast, Object Oriented all the way.

Disadvantages:
Can be tough to learn (Not too hard), gives you ample oppurtunities to shoot yourself in the foot! As always, I hope that helped!

Disclaimer:
Beware: Studies have shown that research causes cancer in lab rats.

(I will not use terms such as Powerful, or faster, as it depends on those much more generic topic)

Advantage : Robust, much more flexibility, much more portibility, can be extremely efficient if written correctly

disadvantage : can be disatourous if written incorrectly, memory leaks can be very common if you do not know how to contain them, it's not a Drag and Drop ease like Visual Basic.
