C

Why /prog/ hates C so much?
I can't understand you guys. C is so easy to understand and it come really together when I'm programming - really can't understand.


I just don't like when have to set the array size, it's so fucking troublesome...

"C is what we call a blub language, as long as users of C is looking down the abstraction continuum, they'll think their language is superior. All they see is ASM which is slower to code in. But as soon as C programmers look up, they'll see more powerful languages like Java and Visual Basic, which has better tools like object oriented features and garbage collection. The C programmer is what the Chinese call, a frog living at the bottom of a well"
