Beauty through perfection via simplicity
C
Isn't that the see-sharp logo?
c is a language which is simple to imlement and simple to design. but c programs are not simple by any means. this is why the world's greatest c programmers routinely make huge errors that lead to massive security problems. c is not perfect, beautiful, or simple. unless you are implementing a c compiler, i guess
Outdated dinosaur language only used for maintaining legacy codebases.
>the world's greatest c programmers routinely make huge errors
nah, that's a meme
the real villain is the average programmer who knows just enough to work on big C projects but not enough to avoid all the possible pitfalls
so your conception of reality is that average and little known c programmers contribute code to large scale critical open soruce c projects, the code is then never audited by the 'really good' c programmers, and it just goes in the project, and this explains the routine security holes in programs like ffmpeg
Like linux kernel codebase.
Will be replaced by Fuchsia.
>perfection
How's that array decay, null termination, and pointer arithmetic all working out for you?
Neither apply to C. Try Forth instead.
