Without plenty of examples, one can only assume what you've experienced is outlier. I can't imagine any significant number of experienced software developers think that. Hell, other systems languages born before C are still being discussed today; go back in time and it only becomes more prominent. Unless a developer has been significantly sheltered, your assertion just isn't reasonable.

- pjmlp 5y agoNot really, I just don't have to prove on the court of HN law my personal experience, related to people I have met, or books I longer have access to. If you feel this is a cop-out, I really don't care.
