Sorry to hear that! I consulted a year for a large financial company and their trading platform consisted of a million lines of C code. I've always loved C, but looking at the code it was actually hard to tell which language it was. They were using internally-developed libraries to do everything. Practically every line of code was a macro or library call, or a macro calling a library. I guess it makes sense to standardise, modularize, abstract away things to a ridiculous degree when you're working on very large codebases, with many people. I'm happy I don't have to do that anymore though!
