  "people on the 'net jerking themselves off" is a pretty good descriptiob of freenode's ##c. I'll quote Daniel Holden (the author of the book on implementing a lisp you mentioned above)'s words on the matter[1]: This channel is hardly known for being friendly. Generally anything other than K&R is regarded as Socratic corruption. And not checking the return value of malloc is on par with adultery. Nor do they have much concern for encouraging the next generation of C programmers. I remember witnessing a new C programmer ripped for several minutes on the channel for simply mentioning the heap and stack in their explanation. Instantly he was shot down with "implementation detail and not defined in the C standard" and told to ask his question in #unix. The channel is generally a great place to go if you want to be told you're an idiot. 1: http://www.theorangeduck.com/page/ready-fight http://www.theorangeduck.com/page/ready-fight
