C is not C++. In particular, even though 90% of what works in C will work in Sepples (you godforsaken failure of a programmer) some of the scoping rules are different and the operator precedence table is altered in subtle ways (to make room for all the absolute shit that they added).
What you should probably do is just check for a "compile regular fucking C" mode on your compiler.
>>4 is butthurt because he can't grasp the entirety of C++, and therefore calls it bloated.

He doesn't know about the power of templates. I bet he doesn't even use C. He writes his shitty slow garbage-collected code in some dynamic language like Lisp or Haskell.

C++ started out as an ugly hack and over time, it has transformed into something truly abominable. Sure, it's powerful but it's close to useless now that we have other languages that are superior to C++ inb4ihbt
There are no languages superior to C++. Those that are just as diverse and flexible are either
a) A shit ton slower, or
b) Not portable
But this is just one massive troll.

I think you meant; They only run on toy architectures/OS's, and are incompatible with all the libraries that people actually use in real life for writing programs that don't just calculate the Fibbonacci sequence.
C falls under a) because it doesn't have templates.

Apparently so, you should read about the whole Symbolics vs rms story, it's really amazing, but also somewhat stupid.

He's stated that his personal system is already complete (gNewSense, emacs, screen, free BIOS among other things) and so, he doesn't need to do any hacking for any personal requirements. Instead, he chooses to spend his time to lecture those that are willing to hear. He is also known to crank dat soulja boy.
TL/DR of RMS v. Symbolics: Symbolics killed the AI lab, so for every feature implemented in the Symbolics LISP OS, RMS implemented seven.
At the end of this effort, however, the () keys on his Space Cadet keyboard went completely dead, forcing him to leave the field of programming forever, never to return.

pffft, and support CAPITALISM?
he ain't going to give THE MAN his money.
haven't you noticed that he hasn't even bought any new clothes since the 80's?
