It is what it is. It's not user friendly because hardware just isn't, low levels aren't, and it has to just perform.

Well, I don't want to sound harsh, but nobody forces anybody to do systems programming if they perceive C as such. There is JavaScript, python and plethora of other safe and cozy languages, but: the low level has to be done.
- grabcocque 10y agoOh, I see it's not that there's such a thing as a bad tool, or that C is unsafe. Simply most of us don't have your towering intellect to appreciate it. Got it.
- quickben 10y agoMaybe I was too harsh, I apologize. But c is far less dangerous than a kitchen knife. Tools are tools, some are used with a great amount of care: jackhammers, routers, compression hammers, chainsaws etc. Heck: driving a vehicle is probably the single most dangerous activity we do on a daily basis.
