There aren't classes, generics, exceptions etc but that also means there isn't much to learn either.

- steveklabnik 3y ago> C isn't brainfuck. I never said it was. I specifically contrasted the two, saying that C is easier to build an application in than Brainfuck would be. Because it is. That means I think they're different, not the same.
