C is shit

Why have short and int if by the standard they end up being the same size number of bits.


Is the following correct:

char        => 8 bits
short       => 16 bits
int         => 16 bits
long        => 32 bits
long long   => 64 bits

float       => 32 bits
double      => 64 bits
long double => 128 bits

whats the point of short?

The length of names isn't what's wrong with Java, it's the chaining of 10 method calls to get an instance of some factory of a generic factory of abstract factory factories. The annoying verbosity isn't in the text but in the code.

Writing int32_t a few times instead of s4 isn't a big deal and actually improves readability (too concise is bad).
