Developers has their favorite environment and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of it unless mandated to change it by a superior or sheer curiosity.
Yes, and the developers of C made their decisions based on what they felt was usable, not because they didn't have the memory to do it the way you like it.
If C sucks, why do so many languages do things the C way? Visual Basic has an awful lot of C in it, if you know anything about the original BASIC language. Almost all BASICs these days are not actually BASIC.
Waccoon, you can run your mouth all you want. So because I had 2 classes in C/C++ some 15 years ago, I'm supposed to remember every nuance?
First of all, you should remember basic things like operators. Second, you need to know the basics if you're going to say that something sucks. Third, you're sitting in front of the world's largest electronic library, so it takes minimal effort to look-up things you've forgotten.
Because they keep expecting me to change it as if I should worship the keyboard they type on.
More like, when you provide an example to show that C sucks, you use poorly formatted code. Brackets on the wrong line, for example, and using brackets when you don't need them. Your constant exaggeration and misrepresentation is what annoys people. You cover it up by saying, "I only took 2 classes 15 years ago."
Well, rip out your old books and have another look. But then, you don't need C, which is precisely why you need to complain about it.
Why do I complain about inconsistencies in PHP? Because I need to maintain code written in PHP, and would like to see some improvements in the near future. Why don't I go around telling people VB sucks? Because while I have used it in the past, I don't need it today.
