agreed. Most programs written in C are much faster than ones written using higher level languages (99.999% of the time). The problem is that most noobs who swear by ruby/python/lisp and other languages actually consider themselves programmers. Nowadays *everyone* thinks they're a programmer because they made their own webpage in HTML. LOL
Real programmers have used languages from different "levels" but can all agree that nothing compares to C or C++. Noobs ALWAYS argue that "WAAH I DONT FEEL LIKE WRTITING 10000 LINES FOR SOMETHING I CAN DO IN 10 USING MY PRECIOUS PYTHON". In other words, C/C++ is not for noobs who "think" they know how to write a good program.
Programming is becoming a lost art.
