I CHOOSE YOU MEGATROLL

No it never gets any better and you know it. You are either a troll or seriously deluded. Do you honestly like having to worry about whether your pointer arithmetic goes out of bounds. . . Having to write hundreds of lines for error checking just to ensure your unsafe function calls to the standard library don't corrupt your penis. The hundreds and thousands of things that can go wrong working on such a low level.

C couldn't get any more useless. I have to even fucking worry about formatting overflows just to print a string. A fucking string. Auditing my code 100s of times, making sure my socket code is perfect, my size allocations sane, and other bull shit. I'm getting stressed just thinking about it.  Help me Xarn.

It should all be about productivity. Using C today for anything more than very specialized low-level programming is strange and disturbing.

I haven't done enough Scheme to be able to comment on it in depth.  I can say two things about it though.  The first is that I really like the syntax.  S-expressions are elegant in their simplicity.  The second is that I'm not too thrilled with it being dynamically typed.  I've always preferred static typing because I think errors should be caught as early as possible during compile-time rather than runtime.
