As a C compiler engineer I can assure you it has problems.

  Did I say C didn’t have problems? Or did a say it’s not a problem that C might allow you to do unsafe things?

    I think so? “As an embedded engineer I can’t agree that C “has problems” because it treats you like a big boy with your big boy pants on. :)”

      Do you know what “because” in that sentence means? Edit: Nah, that’s OK. Just downvote and scamper on. Make HN more like Reddit, that’s what this place needs!

        Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News?

        Well I took it to mean that because you think it treats you as a "big boy" you don't think it has problems.

        Oh and I have no idea how to downvote on HN. Not that I care, but I don't see any downvote buttons.
