Tsk, tsk. At least, if you're going to swear, do it right. The term is
"shittiest". :-O

He was (I am fairly certain) talking about the speed with which you can
create a program, not the speed of the prgram itself. That was what the
"for the programmer" qualifier was there for, and why he said "not for the
resulting program". That makes it good for making money (at least in his
opinion), because you can churn out more code in a shorter period of time
(again, in his opinion). (Now, as to the quality and applicability of such
code....... :-))
