Would you use C for a software project nowadays?
- maximilianburke 16y agoMost definitely. The vendors for the platforms I target only support C and C++ so and the software I write has fairly strict cycle budgets, often measured in microseconds and sometimes in nanoseconds, so regardless of what language I would like to use and am able to use, I end up finding myself neck deep in pointers.
- dwc 16y agoEven in 2010 I still find that many problems can be factored enough that small, focused programs can be used. Now I could bundle that functionality into a larger application, making a nifty class/module and all that, but sometimes it's nice to just write a C program to take care of it. I will always want something like that in my toolbox, and C is a proven tool that works well.
