Don't ask me, my code is fucking perfect. Ask the fucktards whose commits I have to watch over because around 20% introduce a major security flaw. You've never worked in a team project? Then fuck your shit. I want something that the retards I have to keep in line can use without doing too much damage -- and I know damn right that it ain't C (or C++, I simply can't imagine what creative abominations they'd come up with if allowed to use C++).
What the hell are those fucktards doing writing code in the first place? Fire 'em!

The reason we can do so much now is because computers can now crunch through the bits a lot quicker.
