Point of C?

Whats the purpose of C still existing??
Doesnt C++ stick its foot up C's ass or is C still around so B doesnt get lonely?

OOP "best practices" (read: anal) are for suckers and losers who think they're doing any good with it. It makes shit several times slower to write, let alone read and maintain, also long in text and, as an added bonus, it's usually less efficient.

"Design patterns" (read: copypasta) are part of OOP "best practices" because of the inability of their language and programming style to generalize and do anything useful. My motto is, if you're copypasting more than 20 characters from anywhere, you're doing something wrong, /**************/ like stuff excluded.
