Okay, so C++ seems to be gathering critisms from people who's opinions I
respect :)

Well, primarily what I want to do is to create this piece of software
that allows woodworkers to build and view, in 3 dimensions, projects
before they actually start cutting wood.  If you recallthat
conversation, maybe you have an idea of what language would be ideal for
that?

I'm thinking OpenInventor, which apparently has a lot of C++ stuff or
references C++ or has C++ libraries or whatever......or maybe that was
C....

Fuck, I gotta go read that again.

I just got finished roughing in a piece of furniture this afternoon, and
I really could have used this piece of software to avoid the one minor
mistake I made today...
