Just as a useful benchmark for all of you higher level language fans--- try programming without your C libraries...

  Completely agreed. I've been doing Euler problems in Ruby/Java, and my friend does them in C. The difference there is very noticeable, and quite interesting at the same time. Obviously our programs are only compared when we use the same algorithm.

    What difference is noticeable? Speed? Code ugliness? Coding speed?

      I can typically speed through them faster, but the speed of the code execution is so much faster in C. Especially in basic number crunching.
