Why should I code?

Tell me 10 reasons I should learn to code in C

Learn to code in C, because:
1. It gives you a good acknowledgment of the structure of the memory
2. It forces you to reason without abstractions, so you learn how to find your way;
3. It's very popular in kernels and embedded systems;
4. It's the first step to learn C++ (please, don't try to learn C++ until you are a C guru... unless you desire a painfull death);
5. Despite things that you'll hear, there's a huge amount of libraries out there!
6. You can easily build bindings for every high-level language (as python);
7. OVER 9000;
8. It has a beautiful syntax, plagiarized by java (LOL);
9. It's the base language of all the UNIX systems including GNU/Linux
10. Every time you don't program in C a cat explodes.

Have a nice day

wow, this thread doesn't have any replies yet?

Oh really? Try to write an operating system in javascript. Come on.

1. You may use java without knowing what a pointer is. Good stuff. I won't cry on your complains on programming-is-difficult.;
2. A programmer who knows how low level works is a good programmer. A programmer who doesn't know it will be (not so) good only for java;
3. Hey, did you know that windows has a kernel too? Big surprise... and probably is written in assembly, C and C++;
4. I don't get your joke... and your rebuttal too.
5. Here I mean that a lot of people says that there's no library for the C programming language. C doesn't have battery included, but, I swear, there's a huge amount of library out there. And there's a huge amount of asses like you, >>9.
6. No. I may write a good performance code in C and serve it as binding for some high level faggot;
7. OVER 9000
8. So, why the same syntax is used by a lot of programming language?
9. Even if it allows you to communicate efficiently with your kernel? Do you really think that your high level programming language doesn't lean on C?
10. Every time you program in C a cat revives.

You don't need to write an operating system, but you need to USE an operating system, right? I deduce that somebody wrote it for you, and that guy(s) wrote it with C. You'd better to stop using your computer...

Actually if you are using an embedded board, with real time requirements and a really small amount of memory, automatic memory management may be dangerous for your deadlines.

Oh, really? It's clear that you have a poor experience in C programming. But don't worry about this: we'll forgive you.

Go there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_portability_and_supported_architectures and ask yourself how this can be done in pure assembly. Then get back here and suck mah dick faggot

EXPERT /PROG TROLLER

where do you think the myth of cats having 9 lives came from?

Hey people! This guy needs to be trolled again. Could someone proceed with trolling?

The same fucktard managed to post 7 times in a row. WTF?

As long as you pause for a few seconds between making posts, this board doesn't otherwise restrict you from posting consecutive times in the same thread. I think this is a bad idea because it increases the potential for spam to be posted.
