And that's exactly what's wrong with C now --
except it's probably even
a bit worse for C as the majority of people who have been sitting on the
C standards committees for the past decades are primarily either those
with deeply funded agendas about how they think they can make more money
with the language if only it behaves a certain way (e.g. more like C++);
they don't play any role, as the C language was defined decades ago. I learned it
before the ansi committee came to an end by Turbo C and soon later MS C, and then
various *NIX compilers. Recently I written a couple of linux programs using gcc
with exactly the same syntax I studied 30 years ago, and it works pretty cool. All
these programs are error free performing very fast while having a small memory
footprint. For me there is nothing better than C, and I know a lot of languages.
