The spread of C and UNIX

Name: Anonymous 2017-11-05 16:48

This article explains why C and UNIX have spread. Other programmers will use C, reluctantly, but Ctards will refuse to use anything else, not even C++. They use C for the same reason Muslims eat halal. It is religious dogma spread by the Ctard and UNIX cults.

Computer companies were like the West with Islam. They let C into their systems, into their ``countries'' so to speak, and buffer overflows spread, compatibility between languages was reduced from data descriptors for all types (a la VMS) to the types used by C, POSIX functions and UNIX-like shells were added, code became buggier and more obfuscated, and compilers did insane acts in the name of ``optimization''.

So if you want your language to spread, you have to be more intolerant than the Ctards. You must say ``If there is a single line of C, I will not use it.'' Just like peanut-free food, you can impose your will on the majority.

being ``essentially a pointer'' is not an advantage
Actually pointers are at the lowest level of abstraction, directly supported by hardware, which is an advantage. Any higher level string format is up to the developers.
