This is a great little read and encapsulates the other side of the 'rethink the way' trend-ism of some HN new lang advocacy. C is fine, C is good. It is widely understood, it is a systems staple, and it is not dangerous in knowledgeable hands. Rocking the boat is fashionable.
- macintux 10y ago> it is not dangerous in knowledgeable hands For crying out loud, this is patently false. C isn't as dangerous if you really know what you're doing and you never make mistakes. I would bet fewer people know what they're doing than think they know what they're doing, and the set of people who never make mistakes is entirely empty.
- madphrodite 10y agoWell you know..that's just like your opinion man. Opting out of this site at this point. A bunch of 6-12 year idiots (recognizably) telling people what they think they know that they don't know. It's silly recursive.
- macintux 10y agoYou're right, my reply was unnecessarily harsh. I apologize.
