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...

If you want to optimize, write assembly. C is not portable assembly. If it were, you wouldn't tell malloc how much memory you wanted, it would tell you how much it wanted to give you. As it is, you can't really reason any better about cache coherency with C than you can with Python -- you still have to make educated guesses at it.

and this is why I hate modern optimization. It's entirely about witch-doctor guessing and worshiping your own ignorance.
