C-Based languages

C is an amazingly designed language.  It's beautiful, simple, elegant and fast.
Everything a well designed programming language should be.

C++ then came along and shit all over Dennis Ritchie's masterpiece.  Bjarne took a beautiful, simple, elegant and fast language. And kept shitting on it until all that was left was 'fast'.  Dennis should of beat the shit out of him for turning his work of art into an abomination.

Then Gosling came along, surveyed the turd that Bjarne had dropped, and attempted to clean it up.    He redesigned C++ to remove the crap and attain the elegance that C had.  Unfortunately, in his cleaning frenzy, he over-simplified the language and sacrificed speed.  In the name of simplicity he removed pointers, manual memory management,  generics, operator overloading and native code compilation.  A noble effort, but ultimately just as much of a failure as C++.

We don't need a new language **looking at you, D** in lieu of a piece of paper that says NO STL.
huh? no STL? thats your recipe for making C++ is not using the STL? then you might as well go back to using C because the STL is the only thing holding together the shitpile of memory managing things like inheritance and containers.

Seriously, people at some point I going to look at all the generics boilerplate to make OO work in C++ and ask themselves why, why are we polishing a turd. You can get all the speed of C++ in a safe garbage collected language like D. Stop using Java/C# as an example of why gc doesnt work because they are glorified scripting languages.
