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.

UNIX and C became cults because they didn't work, but they were too intolerant to use something that does. The UNIX cult is able to pass off the inferior UNIX designs as the same thing as better operating systems, even though they're not. The cults ``evangelize'' by spreading inferiority until it is the only thing left.

The users of C and UNIX rewrote RFCs by refusing to adopt the solution correctly, not by being better. You don't need to be better. It's better to be better, but that doesn't have any effect on this phenomenon.

You don't need that either. All you have to do is be intolerant. C was created because they were intolerant to standards, like length-prefixed strings. Newer languages added a null-terminated string type because they are tolerant of C.
