>elegant
sure, now show some metaprogramming techniques using the cpp

define how you judge elegance
because if it's by how people usually write code in the language, C is a dirty clusterfuck

also that code is of poor quality, it's merely spaced for slightly better readability. but insert something that breaks your current max column width and you have to either re-format everything manually, or use special scripts to format it as readable again

WHY IS "C"* I TOLD YOU TO STOP MAKING THREADS UNTIL YOU'VE LEARNED ENGLISH

It isn't. It wasn't even _designed_ in thhe first place.

C is the least elegant of all languages in widespread use today.

>dwm
please show some actual C

dwm would be unironically better organized if it were written in C++.

But those fuckers will never admit it.

If you consider a language where printing "hello world" involves undefined behavior elegant, sure.

If it is not C, which one is it anons?

typescript

Scheme is as elegant as it gets.

Python.

Degenerate ugly non-lisp.

First attempt at an actual answer - C is so fucking simple. You can write a C compiler in 2k lines. It’s the only language for which a formally verified compiler exists

What the fuck is that color set ? Monokai ST3 or nothing.

I like programming in BASIC dialects

Writing short appealing code is literally the only thing Python is good for

Scheme is 1st
Haskell is close 2nd

The roof of the Sistine chapel was also created ad-hoc, it doesn't *necessarily* make it inelegant. It can be related to inelegance, the product can be inelegant for other reasons, but it is not exclude elegance inherently.

Brainlet here. I only know structural programming and a little bit of "functional" programming in ES6. What makes Scheme better?

Because it achieved a near-ideal combination of being easy to program in and easy to write a compiler for, so the idea of C spread faster than a bad std.
There is exactly one metric for how good a language is, and it's how many people are using it.

That's not go's fault it's the programmer's

yea fuck off

You can't say C is elegant and have syntax highlighting on. You're making Rob Pike sad.

I'm sorry, syntax highlighting is useful, regardless of what Rob Pike says. Turning off syntax highlighting makes it harder to distinguish between code structures at a glance. This is essential for working and navigating quickly. Whether or not he thinks it looks childish because it's colorful should be irrelevant. No one should turn off syntax highlighting just because Rob Pike says so either.

Good, Goolag workers don't deserve to be happy.

this

Rob Pike is retarded anyway. Only cat-v cares about him.

That's a retarded metric because it gives an unfair advantage to languages like JavaScript that are popular due to having no alternative.

But C isn't easy to program in at all without littering vulnerabilities all over the place.

It as elegant as the coder wants it to be. Python is the opposite.
