Why use C?Why use C?Posted Jul 10, 2012 11:59 UTC (Tue) by dgm (subscriber, #49227)In reply to: Why use C? by anselm Parent article: Why learn C? (O'Reilly Radar)
From my days of Modula2 and Pascal, I vividly remember the feeling that the languages went through leaps and bounds to -limit- you. In hindsight, it probably is a good idea if what you want to do is code from 9 to 5, and then go home to play with your family. But the fact is that the feeling pissed me off then, and was one of the reasons I preferred C and later C++.

For me, in hindsight, almost none of Pascal's or Modula's limitations make sense. They just seem petty and trivial.
