How could you hate C? I fell in love with it the moment I found it.. I have never felt that way about another language, although Perl has come close.
There's a purity about C that I haven't found in any other language.. I can look at any line of C and have a pretty good feel for the assembler that will be generated underneath. Actually my understanding of assembler and C increased relatively hand-in-hand, I've always viewed them as complimentary languages.. like a macro-assembler almost done right (pity about #define and #ifdef and #endif.. brrr). Actually I think my understanding of C would be more limited as I truly don't understand the x86 processor any more. The feature set in the 386 really impressed me (protected mode, barrel shifter), but after that things just seemed to get beyond me (MMX, registers wider than 32 bit, I mean c'mon having EAX as well as the AH and AL registers was advanced enough wasn't it?). Thank goodness for microcontrollers.. we can get back to assembler with simpler processors and still feel like we're doing something useful.. In reply to Re^2: I started with...:
