- pjmlp 2y agoYes they do, point an example from that group, and I will gladly prove you wrong.

- grandempire 2y agoWell sounds like you are confident and we are going to get into a semantic argument about what qualifies as a pointer. So which of these languages do you think is a better representation of hardware and not a PDP-11?
- pjmlp 2y agoBetter representation of the hardware? None of them, you use Assembly if you want the better representation of hardware. Yes, I am quite confident, because I have been dispelling the C myth of the true and only systems programming language since the 1990's.
- grandempire 2y agoSo then your comment about C being an outdated PDP-11 must be equally true of other languages. So it says nothing.
- pjmlp 2y agoNot really, some of those languages predate the very existence of C and PDP-11.
