C isn't a framework.
- dasil003 13y agoC is to low-level OS-independent programming as Rails is to web programming.
- ssmoot 13y agoNo it's not. Ruby/Rails is the past decade's version of VBScript/ASP3. It's not a foundational technology. As huge of a fanboy as I am of Scala/Play, the C comparison would be as unjustifiable with those as well.
- numbsafari 13y agoYeah, it's probably more appropriate to say that Javascript, HTML and CSS are to web programming what C is to low-level programming.
- dasil003 13y agoObviously things become less "foundational" as you go higher up the stack.
- numbsafari 13y agoThe C standard library is pretty much a framework, isn't it?
- kamaal 13y agoAbsolutely not. If you have done embedded programming you would know C standard library is pretty much a bunch of standard utils to do stuff like copy char arrays, print and do some memory related stuff. That is hardly a framework.
