Programming on Windows and GNU/Linux

Hey /prog/!

Could you please explain me why on Windows there are a lot of C++ programmers, while on GNU/Linux the great majority of programs are written in C?

The problem with /prog/ is that they're all S/M faggots who need a language to tell them the only way they're allowed to design something.  They get uneasy when they have enough rope to hang themselves with.

The problem with Sepples is that it has enough rope, spikes, chains, axes, and laser beams to slaughter your entire team.  And some inexperienced bastard is probably going to get overzealous with all these ‘features’ and try to juggle every one of them.  Sepples requires restraint and oversight, which you can't often rely on on the internet.

It's easy to criticize Sepples when you pretend its features are elements in the overarching design of a high-level language.  They're not.  Sepples is a collection of independent extensions to make writing in a low-level language (C) more convenient.  It's used often because no language has done that better.
