Everyone here has forgotten the main rule for choosing a language for projects. You have to actually know the language. The developer here very clearly doesn't know c all that well. That's all we need to know to know it's a bad choice. C is an especially bad language to use if you don't really know what you're doing.
If Linus Torvalds it's starting a new project, C is probably a good choice for almost anything. Why? Because he's an incredible C programmer. But we shouldn't confuse every developer with Linus Torvalds.
- MartinCron 14y agoIf that's the case, and C is the wrong choice for that developer but the right choice for the project, then it follows that the developer is the wrong one for the project. I had that exact same thing happen to me once. There's no shame in it.
- Locke1689 14y agoTotally true, but it doesn't appear that hiring another developer is in the works. So C# it is.
