ORLY ?
How easy you find a language, depends on how you learnt it and how much
passion you have for it. For me 'C' is like poetry. Just do an strace on
a
perl program and an equivalent 'C' program and you will be surprised to
find
the amount of gunk that is there in the higher level languages.
Anyways, since we appear to be stuck in a loop, I shall exit() gracefully.
I am sorry about that. I honestly wanted to have some meaningful
conversation and my point was only on someone making a comment that C is
difficult to write and difficult to read - which is untrue if one knows the
language. So I apologise that somehow the conversations became more of a
noise than a debate.
We all love the language which we are comfortable with. And a artist can
take any tool and make a poetry or a painting out of it and not complain
about the tool.
So apologies from me to all for the noisy traffic
