You are the victim of shills

Shills exist. It's a real thing.

They aren't paid. There is no possible financial gain from posting on /prog/.

But there are ideological shills that are working hard to win every-possible mind to their side.

Guess who does that?

Did you guess "the side that is over-represented on the internet and wins twelve allies every time they get a stack overflow upvote," the way that pajeets do?

You guessed wrong.

The only shills on /prog/ are the ones wringing every stone until they find one that gives a drop of blood.

/prog/ is being manipulated by C programmers and Unix hackers, because the anonymous format provides a unique opportunity for their ideas to be presented without cross-examination. Because their ideas can't withstand cross-examination.

You ever seen those posts on /prog/ about Lisp being useless in the real world? Did you know that those claims got debunked, twenty years ago? They were flat-out proved wrong, when most of you were in diapers. But you saw a statistic.

Shills are here. They won. You believe them.

You just dont get it, do you? Without Ritchie, there is NO OSX. There is NO GUI. Hell, there is NO multiprocess envirnoment. There is nothing. Above plain ASM of the machine in hand, there is only C. Everything else was built on top of that and until a couple of years ago, IT STILL IS.

That's pretty silly.
So if Ritchie didn't exist, no one would make applications that are similar to those?
