Your profile says "just another C hacker".
I learned C from reading K&R in the late 80s.
Every C compiler I've worked with could output the code as assembler, so C is really a thin layer of abstraction that wraps assembler. Having programmed in pure assembler before, I understand the benefits of C's abstractions, which began with its minimal, but helpful, type system.
Should I not be taking you seriously?

Sometimes I forget that other people can just be unpleasant on purpose. I find no other explanation for your response.
- enriquto 2y agoSorry man, I was just trying to spew some harmless banter.
- MrMcCall 2y agoApology accepted. No worries. It's just that my post rate is severely limited, even to reply to people replying to me. I'm on some kind of naughty list in "the algorithm", which is something beyond dang's control, by what I gather from his reproachments to me. That's why I've got to minimize my number of replies. And 'harmless banter' doesn't communicate in pure text, friend. Peace be with you.
