C and C++ are for retards.

and the speed you gain by using them doesn't matter shit these days unless you're making the latest and greatest 3D game.

Fucking manual memory management. Fuck in the ass.

retards, learn a fuckin language and use it for what it was designed for, don't like it? then just go sit in the dark corner and cry while you cut yourself. noone just randomly makes a programming language, they're purpose built. PROTIP: Don't learn a programming language or ANYTHING for that matter from a book by yourself, you're better off becoming an hero right now - go to school
