what is great about C?
-
- the simplicity of the compiler that just run’s anywhere
- still THE most resource efficient language
- with C the user does not have to buy a new computer every 3 years, because of updates slowing down the system so much it become inefficient
- still THE language that can speak best to hardware
- the syntax can be called ugly sometimes, but not as ugly as C++ X-D
there is even a song about it X-D “Dennis Ritchie – Write in C” (“Pascal won’t quiet cut it”… yep that is true X-D)
everyone understands what this does:
cat boolstd.c #include #include int main(void) { // set to true bool b1 = 1; // this is correct, it will print if(b1) { printf("Bool b1 is true \n"); } // set to false _Bool b2 = 2; // this is false, will not print if(b2 == false) { printf("Bool b2 is false \n"); } // requires bool b3 = true; // this is correct, it will print if(b3 == true) { printf("Bool b3 is true \n"); } // requires bool b4 = false; if(b4 == false) { printf("Bool b4 is false \n"); } }
the problems of C:
- security problems need to be adressed (all those buffer over- and underruns)
… security/safety plus multi core computing is what RUST tries to adress
RUST the safer C/C++?
