I could kinda use being allowed to do $ in other languages, especially if I could do $ even in string literals.

I'm probably not the right person, but ... I dislike C, I dislike it a lot. And the thing I dislike most are the aroundfix types. <lotsa modifiers> <strange characters> <variable name> <a number or maybe not in square brackets> or even <lotsa modifiers> <strange characters> <function or variable name> "(" <lotsa modifiers> <strange characters> <param name> <square brackets or not>, ... ")" ? Function returing a pointer to int versus a pointer to a function returning int, anyone?

Besides, while programming, do you think "and now I'm gonna need an integer, let's call it counter" => int counter; or rather "and now I'm gonna need a counter, it could be an int" => var counter : int;

Plus its dated, simplistic "type system" that you have to circumvent all the time to get anything done .. no thanks, C's not for me, thank you very much.
