I don't think stcredzero meant that as an argument that C is worse than HLL -- it was just a warning that, as with any tool, it can be improperly used.

- stcredzero 17y agoI'm certainly not against C. I've just used C to write an embedded controller for doing real-time mixing of PWM control signals and laser gyroscope data for a model tilt-wing aircraft. (Which should be able to convert between horizontal and vertical modes in-flight.) I wouldn't use Smalltalk for that. (Yet. If I had 10X more CPU to burn, maybe.) Likewise, I'm not going to write my next Commodities Trading app in C.
