`Trust the programmer, as a goal, is outdated in respect to the security and safety programming communities. While it should not be totally disregarded as a facet of the spirit of C, the C1X version of the C Standard should take into account that programmers need the ability to check their work.' -- The C1x Charter* (for the next C standard).

The only two things I know that work best for C is for limited resource systems and bootstrapping runtime binaries/compilers for better languages.
All systems have limited resources. The most powerful machines available still get bogged down in basic desktop usage. Don't tell me to BUY MOAR HARDWARE LOL, because there isn't any. Don't tell me ITS OK YOU WONT EVER RUN THE CODE, because I obviously am or there wouldn't be a problem.
BUT IT COULD SEGFAULT! Yeah, I'll think about that while I'm watching every single program in your language of the week die of unhandled exceptions 10 times a day because WERE SO SAFE WE CAN DO ANYTHING.
But, oh crap, >>39 will catch me running clean, efficient, usable software, and then he's going to be really pissed. Fuck off.

No shit. And what are most of your apps written in? C? Sepples? Exactly. Insist on writing your programs in error prone languages that don't give you the abstraction tools you need to write fast software, and you end up with buggy programs that bog down the most powerful machines available during basic desktop use.

And standard C doesn't have the idea of parallel execution. Any attempt at doing parallel exec in C is an attempt at making a cat bark like a dog. The commonest operator, you know it? In C? It the `;' semi-colon operator. It says `then'.
So, `1 + 1; 2 + 2`
in C is 1 + 1 then 2 + 2
That's the biggest sign that C is meant for another generation. Until it means
`in parallel with', C is not usable today.***** Systems software is the only
place where portable ease of parallelism can't be compromised.
After seeing these many times and devoting much thought to the issue over a period of months, I believe these should henceforth be known as 66bubble quotes99.

what we really need is a [q] tag in bbcode, which gets turned into an html <q> tag, then people can just set their browser to use css like this: q:before{content:"'`"}
q:after{content:"`'"}
or this: q:before{content:"``"}
q:after{content:"''"}
or even this: q:before,q:after{vertical-align:text-top; font-size:60%}
q:before{content:"66"}
q:after{content:"99"}

the original spelling was [sup][b]66[/sup]color[sup][b]99[/sup] in latin, then [sup][b]66[/sup]colur[sup][b]99[/sup] in old french, then in english it went from [sup][b]66[/sup]colur[sup][b]99[/sup] to [sup][b]66[/sup]color[sup][b]99[/sup].
then a bit later it changed to [sup][b]66[/sup]colour[sup][b]99[/sup] in old french and that's why faggots spell it [sup][b]66[/sup]colour[sup][b]99[/sup].
of course real men use [sup][b]66[/sup]dye[sup][b]99[/sup] (from OE [sup][b]66[/sup]deagian[sup][b]99[/sup] (verb) or [sup][b]66[/sup]deah[sup][b]99[/sup]/[sup][b]66[/sup]deag[sup][b]99[/sup] (noun)) or hue (from OE [sup][b]66[/sup]híwian[sup][b]99[/sup] (verb) or [sup][b]66[/sup]híw[sup][b]99[/sup] (noun)) instead of some faggy latin word.

Real men don't know what words mean?

I believe what he is trying to say is that Real Men use Germanic parts of the language instead of shitty french imports when possible. The problem with this is that there is actually a difference in the usage of hue and colour - we mostly use hue to distinguish it from the other meanings of ``colour''.
color
[Middle English colour, from Old French, from Latin color; see kel-1 in Indo-European roots.]

Colour and colur were essentially never used in Old French.
