> Oh, how they dare argue with WALTER BRIGHT. The hubris! With all due respect, but if someone says something invalid, the fact that they have authority on a subject does not mean that we should agree. As far as I understand the article (And I'm not the great Walter Bright, so I may be wrong) - the author states that "void foo(char a[..])" is better syntax than "void foo(size_t s, char a[])" but does not provide any arguments for it. Furthermore, the author initially fails to mention that there has been an attempt to fix the array-to-pointer-decay issue, when discussing "C's Biggest Mistake". So, yeah, the author may be right that this has been C's biggest mistake. I don't know whether that is true or not, I do not have his experience. It is certainly true that this mistake would be high on rankings of all mistakes that C did. Still, the initial "sleight of hand" move followed by unsubstantiated argument leads to a post with the quality similar to that of a twitter post. Maybe even worse, since, you know, it's posted on a place other than twitter, so we are actually talking about it as if it was something serious.
