There was a guy in our university tutorial support group (a PHD grad) who, in the first session said, "I only do C, Im your speed guy".
We all hacked around with other languages and implementations. And when we needed some fast and efficient little "thing" to plug in we went to the "C guy".
He was by far the most important guy for all the teams there :) (save me countless hours in writing a non-crucial but useful optimized array sorting algorithm to work with our program)
- barrkel 17y agoI find the hubris of a C guy saying "I'm your speed guy" amusing. I could contrive of several scenarios where said C guy would be somewhat chastened, perhaps involving applications for polymorphic inline caching, or runtime code generation with applications to sorting or searching, etc.
