Well, I think the attitude is especially prevelant among scripters as they want something that is totally opposite to mIRC Script. A low level language like C++ is great to boost your credibility, init.
Furthermore, A lot of scripters see it as the only language capable of making DLL's. I personally always favoured Delphi, which can produce machine code as fast as C++ (according to lab tests, not just me), And is much easier and natural to work with. I think the fact that it's easier is a big no-no for mirc'ers, They want everyone to know that they can use archaic and complicated langauge, Not just an easy one.
