why C is shit

int a = 0xFFFFFFFF;
*( (char *) &a ) = 0x0F;

is the only way to do it in C. You can't simply go (char) a = 0x0F; because it's ``not a valid lvalue.'' Put C back where it belongs, in the garbage. It was a DSL for building Unix no wonder that's such shit too. We can do better now.

If Intel put half the money they spent on Jewops into DEC Alpha instead of killing it off, we'd have 10 GHz 80-core CPUs by now.
