   I critic your post because it is honestly wortless.   
   It is not a comparison because I don't understand your solution,   
   and you have not added a single word to compare the languages.   
      
   I don't like publishing euler solutions, because it is against   
   the projecteuler philosophy to keep solutions secret till the   
   moment you have solved it yourself.   
   Bragging about how good you program is, is to be done in   
   projecteuler itself. You'd be amazed how superior the solutions   
   are the real projecteulerian post.   
      
   P.S.   
   I think Rosseta-Code is worthless compared to Project-Euler   
   because most problems are ill-posed.
