in reply to Perl and C don't always mix well

It reminds me that, a few months ago, I wanted to write an "Hello world" program in C. It took me three compiles before executing it. The successive attempts were:
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> void main () { printf "Hello world\n" }
Oops, forgot that you need a semi-colon, even if followed by a closing brace.
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> void main () { printf "Hello world\n"; }
What's wrong now? (time passes...) Ah yes, you need parentheses.
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> void main () { printf("Hello world\n"); }
Yeah, it works!
