C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Joel's point was about commercial products not programming languages. I'm not the one misunderstanding here. When people talk about using Rust, it's not talking about rewriting every single thing ever written in C/C++. It's about leaving C/C++ behind and moving on to something that doesn't have the issues of the past. This is not about large scale commercial rewrites. It's about C's inability to deal with these problems.
sure thing bud.
I didn't say that and you know it. Also it's quite telling (ooh, I can say the same things you can) that you think "better language" means "pet language". Actually laughable.
