I agree. There is undefined behavior lurking at every twist and turn in a C program, so that for most practical intents and purposes, >>1's comment is quasi true. It's also true of C++.

How many people are still programming with these tools?

And of those, how many know what undefined behavior is?

Of those who know what it is, how many can avoid it 100% of the time?

Haha.

All you need to do is read and memorize a 200 page manual. How hard can this be?

I know. I coded in C and C++ for ~2 years and there came a point where I just said that it fucking sucks. Wanted to quit programming until I picked up PHP again and learned Python. Programming is fun again and since then I've never looked back! I've done my time and I just want to move forward now and forget about the past.

Fuck C.

I am glad you are enjoying yourself. You want comfort. I want control. I want power. We both get what we want, and the world is better for it.

You are just being bitter about your ex instead of being happy with the girl you found. There are virtues to C, though they might be different from what you are looking for, and C, too, deserves love.

No, C is completely shit. Use x86 asm.

x86 came from a fat Jew's AIDS-ridden prolapsed anus

C requires that you do checks manually.

Deal with it.

You may want power and control but you're not getting it from C. C has the all the power of assembly language, without most of the detailed control.

The only way you get lots of power in C (well, by means of C, or through C in some sense) is by using C to write an interpreter for another programming language and then writing in that language.

can anyone here actually make good use of an interpreter though?

i think 99% of the time a fast compiler is just as good =D
