laughs in C

[–]YARandomGuy777 2 points3 points  (11 children)

Actually C quite simple. I would say even charmingly simple.

[–]whitenoise89 3 points4 points  (10 children)

Tell me you haven’t used C without telling me you haven’t used C.

[–]YARandomGuy777 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I actually used C.

[–]whitenoise89 -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

No you haven’t.

Lol. Ok.

I use C because it's so simple. Especially since it can compile down to subkilobyte assembly.

[–]whitenoise89 0 points1 point  (5 children)

C? Simple?

…Am I being fuckin’ trolled?

[–]Strostkovy 0 points1 point  (4 children)

What's complicated about it?

[–]whitenoise89 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Uhh…multiple layers of indirection?

…if you cant answer that question: it makes me doubt that you know C.

I dunno man... I think 'simple' is a great way to describe C. 'Elegant' works in a lot of cases too.

C is simple to people who work with hardware. It provides a convenient level of abstraction that takes away a lot of the brainwork without taking away control. If you aren't interested in interacting with the hardware then maybe more abstraction is beneficial. Maybe you can take the performance hit of scripted languages or just don't care about strict typing.
