This article only shows that some C programmers are not able to think at an higher level than whatever their compiler sees. They don't understand that a programming language standard is not a style guide.

I thought it was low-level because I've read its frameworks tend to be faster (CodeIgniter comes to mind).

Sorry. I should have deleted Python, Ruby - and maybe PHP for close to the metal web programming - after having copied the line. Regarding C/C++/Java, I was expecting HNers to prefer more agile languages and/or exploiting some other langu

I'm sorry to say I should have written: "Perl and C++ are good languages to those who don't know better ones" instead. I've been able to dump Perl, but I'm currently stuck with C++ too (as an employee). Why do you think you can't replace

Well, I just say: go know your potential customers. I still think that designing a worthy new language + IDE would be really hard work. However, don't take my words! Have you considered developing tools or plugin to easy their work? For i

The bad news is that Perl isn't dead for sure. Languages tend to stick around for a while. For myself, I regret all the time I've spent learning and using it. Perl and C++ are languages for those who don't know better. I know because I'v

I love how controversial this post of mine seems (up-votes battling down-votes). No, flamebaiting was not my goal, but being controversial is a sign that I've hit an aching spot, I think. Thanks to everyone ^_^ EDIT: It would be nice if H

What's your target market? If it is experienced developers, you'll have an hard time even for just the IDE.

Thank you very much for letting me know about "Irreducible complexity". I'll investigate the argument. My objections to evolutions do not fall into such a realm. Yes, millions of years make difficult for us to think about things. There a

Not being a native speaker and thus maybe sounding harsh is not flamebaiting. > Ruby / Python people willing to pay for a good environment? I didn't say Ruby and Python aren't worthy languages _now_. I've said they were when they sta

Common Lisp implementations already come with heaps of libraries: just grab a commercial one. Do you think programming languages _must_ be free? You lack a business mindset, I think. Commercial programmers are willing to pay for language

Evolution, that's where many scientists and skeptics fail to address the big question . I can't believe that life evolves , in the sense of growing organs to meet specific needs. Natural selection does not work like that: if you have or

Didn't Google start a project on scanning all existent books to build a digital library? Maybe they derived their estimate from there.

So, you don't know what email address munging is and still you're asking for an "an exceptional technical co-founder"? You think you're exceptional? I don't think so. Next! All the best, anyway.

I love your reply. This is what hacking means: you've found a bug in the system, you go fix it. Hacking is not limited to software.

I'm a bit amazed that HNers have to know from here whenever there is some big news regarding their softwares of choice. I didn't mention just GNU/Linux distributions, though, but all major pieces of software (languages, frameworks, etc.).
