Fools haven't even written it well! Translated:
STOP WRITING
-
MEMORY WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE AESSED DIRETLY
-
YEARS OF PROGRAMMING yet STILL ODE IS STILL WRITTEN with memory vulnerabilities
-
Wanted to aess memory diretly anyway? We had a tool for that: It was alled "ASSEMBLY"
-
"Yes please give me NULL of something. Please give me *&* of it" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
LOOK at what Programmers have been demanding your Respet for all this time, with all of the omputers we built for them
(These are REAL programs, written by REAL Programmers):
???? ???????? ????????????
They have played us for absolute fools

I really like C because I can just get to the heart of an action and make it happen without much surrounding code.
I could make classes and blah blah blah if I want to make a large, complex program but I'd rather write several small, simple to grok programs which pass information around so each program can do its one simple thing, quickly and easily. Chain the small programs together with bash or something, and bingo, you've got a modular high speed system.
I'm not a programmer, actually a mechanical engineer. But the Unix philosophy of simple, modular tools is great, provided one properly checks and sanitizes inputs.
Python laughing nervously: "haha yeah... we shouldn't write in C, amirite guys?"
Imagine having anyone tell you how to access your memory.
I enjoy the selection bias in the comments for these sorts of posts. >_< There's a few people saying "I kinda like C", a few saying "use Python instead", and a whole lot saying "Rust is my lord and savior". Completely disjoint from the real world usage of the languages for whatever practical, pragmatic, or ideological measures they are used for.

real, use rust and zig
every time i run into an issue with rust and i'm like "ah man it's so annoying the language doesn't have this feature" i go write the same thing in c++ or kotlin or something, and then i realize why i hardly touch anything other than rust or f#...
the lack of (generic) variadics, overloading, proper specialization, etc. in rust gets really annoying sometimes but it's an issue solvable with macros and/or weird trait manipulation (feels hacky but it's whatever).
But I like C, it's like a smaller Golang
Void pointers. Pure evil.
C was a nice idea but I guess it just didn't work out as well as everyone hoped. Ah well, back to BCPL then.
my controller may be old, but i only pay 20 thousands eurodogs for a board support pckage ,per user per ip per nation per year. I dont even pay for their eclipse ide! C is the laand of free fuck yeah! My debug partner is compatible with only 200 euro per flexcable. Don`t tell em my debrugs parnter is not oem spec🐵.
Look up function pointer types to make this language seem even more insane
C is okay with good tooling. I wish it was possible to mix C and Rust code in the same project. I could be wrong but last I looked C code will have to sit outside in a library or something and called externally from Rust.
I feel like such a fool
I know I'm a fanboy, but I fell in love with C from the first time I tried it. I especially like its bare-bones grammar that never gets in your way. I appreciate how much it has taught me about how computers work. It helped me realize my aspirations to be an electrical engineer.
