This is a purely psychological problem. I’d say most of C is psychological, not technical. If I were a world dictator, one of my first orders was to lock C developers in a room with only python for few months. Or ruby, in severe cases. Some of them really need to touch grass.
- mbivert 2y ago> If I were a world dictator, one of my first orders was to lock C developers in a room with only python for few months. Or ruby, in severe cases. I would additionally do the exact opposite: lock Python & Ruby developers in a room with only C for a few months. C is a great language to learn programming, but Python or Ruby are, nowadays, in the most cases, better languages to program with. For example, C's sharpness is a notoriously famous source of bugs; yet it forces to develop rigor, discipline.
