I don't think I'll ever like C. It looks like something created for a parser that was written in one night instead intended as a quality language. One can have a great language without the visual ugliness of C. Or it's counterintuitive use of grammar and math characters. It's just the most goddamn impossible language tp read through that I've ever seen.
As far as I'm concerned, either use Assembler, or use AMOS or Blitz. Anything inbetween is kind of pointless.
Having said that, I guess I'd like to revisit C since so much $&^@ documentation assumes you're comfortable with it. Bastards. This is what happens when wannabe's outnumber true coders in colleges.
Still, why waste time with C when C++ exists?
