C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.

I'm all for standarization, but I'm annoyed that they solved this relatively unimportant issue when the rest of the language is a piece of shit close to FUBAR.
C is going to end up a dead language (read: smalltalk dead) thanks to ISO. It doesn't have to be like this. :(
But you can always say "OK guys, string.h is deprecated but supported for good, now use decent_string.h".
Yes, but what about string literals? Changing from C to Pascal strings (or better) would cause problems.
PDP-11? No longer in use, thanks.
Hahaha. I love you, >>34-35.
