Dearest worthless pile of shit,
Writing C code isn't fucking hard, managing memory isn't fucking hard, yet people do shit like make new programming languages and call C a "dead" or "dinosaur" language (in terms of new projects). Guess what, fucker? C will outlive all of your shitty piles of crap you call "startups".
What pisses me off more is that people say C++ is better. It's C with extra crap no one needs, sure, but if I shoved literal human feces into a sandwich, force fed it to you and told you "oh you complaining means it's actually good", I'd be sent to prison! C++ is not an extension of C, it is a bastardization of it.
Then there's Rust, which I'll admit I like some of the things it does, but it's again just C with a different way of handling memory. Malloc and Free functions aren't that bad! Trust me.
Oh but you need classes? What are you? 5 years old? Going to your elementary school classes to learn about classes that don't actually do anything a Struct does better? Fuck you.
Stop complaining about C code, it's infinitely more readable than any other damn language you ever could imagine. Yes, even more readable than English, because C isn't five other languages that were murdered in a dark ally way and had their organs harvested to make something new, no, it was planned well, and made by people who knew what the fuck they were doing.
And DEAREST KEN THOMPSON, you fucking traitor. C is the perfect programming language. All GoLang is, is a fucking mess of bullshit. Concurrency is nice and all, but we don't need more object oriented piles of shit. Also, garbage collection is so fucked. Not just in Go, actually Go does it decently from what I've seen. No, we should be managing our memory intentionally.
"But managing memory on large code bases is difficult..." maybe for your AI-fucked brain, where OpenAI has been shoving it's vigintillion dollar dick down your throat to make you forget how to code, and be dependent on AI like it was crack! If you actually knew a thing or two on how to code, then managing memory becomes pretty easy. Any time you malloc? Free it. It's a little more complex than that, but fucking hell, not by a lot.
I am so sick and fucking tired of hearing JS devs retardently tweet about whether TypeScript or JavaScript with JSDoc is the better option for two awful languages that honestly don't fucking work half the damn time, throwing errors onto the console on half the fucking websites in the entirety of existence.
C isn't hard, and there is a reason many smart people recommend it as a first (and sometimes, only) language for 99.9% of tasks.
If you need something quick, dirty, and interpreted, go ahead, use Python. Python is a perfect scripting language. But C? C is what separates the sckids from the 10x-devs.
Sincerely yours,
