No tripcode, so it's probably /b/.

Apple's GUI has its flaws, but I prefer it over CDE, OpenWindows, or whatever the hell it is they include with Solaris these days.

look again.
there is a code tag there:

Haiku is written in C++.

at least you're not required to distribute it now like you would be if it were that viral GNU diarrhea.

Never forget the concepts of fair use, trivial samples (a trivial hello world program, a trivial section of a larger work) and the fact that copyright only covers the specific implementation of an expression and not the expression itself.

Anything worth mentioning is written in C.

Which kinda blows because I have to deal with primitive C retardation when doing my operating systems course projects.

Name: Anonymous 2009-03-22 13:32

you cant write an OS in anything other than C because you need to bootstrap the system somehow

Name: Anonymous 2009-03-22 13:41

if you think C is primitive then drop out of school because you wont be able to take it in the real world

IHBT, but how does that limit the language used?

If you think C isn't primitive, you belong in the 1950s.

>>63
it isnt primitive, it gives the programmer all the tools he needs to do anything he wants. if you cant handle that, then youre a primitive programmar and should stick with ruby programmering on your rails

So they did not think C was primitive. >>63 is right, you know that?

It's primitive and doesn't even have usable macros.

>>65,66
No shit. The point is that C lacks basic features that predate it by decades.

I've been programming C since the early 80s and can safely say the macros work fine. Perhaps you should stick to programming toy programs in FIOC.

C was designed to be a minimalist language that was easily portable. Complain all you want that it lacks features, but it takes a long time for any feature to gain widespread adoption(see Garbage Collection) and why bother including non-mainstream features in a language that is designed to be as small as possible.

(see Garbage Collection)
See LISP

C could have at least included keyword arguments and useful macros (no, >>69, the macros do not work fine: there's no way to put logic in your code generation).

Name: Anonymous 2009-03-22 17:55

what.
why would they not just do this instead?
int ntoi(char *p, int base)
{ register int i = 0, fFound = 0;
  if(1 < base && base < 37)
    for(register int c;
        fFound |= (isdigit(c = tolower(*p++)) &&
                   (c -= c <= '9' ? '0' : 'a' - 10) < base);
        i = i * base + c);
  return fFound ? i : -1; }

if you use gcc, there is.

If I used gcc, I would have two problems.

I'm talking about proper meta-programming logic, not your mickey mouse conditional ifs.

You don't know what meta means in this context, get the fuck off /prog/

Oh, wow. That's what you think code generation is?
