> Well, I took the statement to be hateful. Here's a breakdown. > > C [is] not appropriate > <-- intentional put down of language as a whole Put down? Value judgement? Statement of fact? I don't get that wrapped up in it. Maybe I would if I wrote C compilers. I read it as "not a good choice" in the author's opinion. I didn't read the link btw, only your post. > not appropriate for most programs > <-- false claim that C is utterly useless in regards to programming Depends on what the author thinks most programs do and where they run. If he thinks they run on mainframes (probably not valid) then true, C isn't appropriate in most cases. If he is talking about mini computers, again, C isn't on the radar. If he is talking about PC's running Windows I don't know but I guess he would be wrong. If he is talking about PC's running Linux or Unix then he's definitely wrong. So sue him LOL. Who cares? But hateful? No. Maybe he just believes there are better languages for the kind of code he writes, or better general purpose languages for the code he thinks is most written. > that don't need to do arbitrary bit-fiddling > <-- belittling of C's very powerful HLL capabilities I don't think C has any powerful HLL capabilities but you would know better than me about that since you like and use it and I hate it and don't use it. Mostly I hate it because it's ugly (personal value judgement) and the operators are confusing and overloaded for the sake of terseness. I consider that a mistake. I guess I could use the preprocessor and clean up some of what I think is so hideous (those endless ugly braces etc) but it would still be C and I still wouldn't like it or the people who like it or the people who wrote it. It's not my kind of people. No offense, because I enjoy reading your posts but most other C people I could live without. > Basically, that statement puts C on the same level as Brainfuck. I.e., > it's hateful. As a Brainfuck fan, I resent that remark ;-). I didn't read the statement that way at all. I figure he means why play around with stuff like malloc/calloc and free and low-level abstractions when modern languages make it easy for idiots to write bad code faster than ever before. Garbage collection, classes (yeah I know C++ is really C) all that stuff makes life fun for guys born after 1990 and anything older than that sucks. Who cares. > > [...] How popular or > > successful a language (implementation) is has nothing to do > > with how good it is. > > If you had only said "popular", I'd agree. Why? C is successful because it was used to write two major, bad operating systems. If you want to write code on those systems then you need to use C because all the header files and system calls are set up for C. If you look at the IBM mainframe the operating system is written in assembler. All the header files and system calls are in assembler. If you want to use C on a mainframe you cannot physically write system code. At all. Assembler is the best choice on that platform. Is it popular or successful? There yes, elsewhere no. It all depends what we are discussing. > > How does popularity relate to how good something is? Not at all. > > > > I agree. See, you only used "popular" here. > > > C and C++ are not HLL.

Personally, I'm not familiar with Algol. So, I take HOPL > as the definitive perspective. Yes, quite sure. I am not going to look at those links because I really don't care what they say. I used ALGOL68 on two platforms and if anything is like ALGOL it's PL/I and Pascal to some degree. BASIC has no resemblance to ALGOL at all. C doesn't either, like I said unless you consider any language with control structures (if/end if while/do while etc) ALGOL derived. If you do then almost every HLL qualifies except original COBOL. Even later COBOL and FORTRAN would qualify. That does not make any sense. > > [ ... ] so anybody who thinks > > the [Pascal] language is good > > obviously doesn't code for his day job. > > Although this discussion is suited for comp.lang.misc and not c.l.f., I > find that statement from you to be *really* interesting, from a > psychological perspective. The entire problem with Pascal is (or was) > that it is purely a HLL. There are (or were) no low-level capabilities. > C has both, yet you deride it. The problems with Pascal are as I said, it is a one-pass teaching compiler. It generates crap code. It was never intended to be used in production, like most of what Wirth put out there. AFAIK Turbo Pascal does have low level facilities but again I am not sure. The other thing I don't like about Pascal is Wirth. He and Dijkstra fucked up generations of programmers with their unfounded anti-COBOL spewage and blind hatred of GOTO's. Some of the worst code ever written is thanks to those two assholes. Their stuff is good on paper but it falls over in production. The problems for me with C are not whether it's an HLL or not (it's not). I prefer assembler so you can't say I have anything against low level languages. I guess in NIX C is ok but I don't write code in NIX because it's a crap OS. In my context C is a solution looking for a problem. On other platforms it's a high level assembler. > Ok, Ada question: AIR, Ada is the only major language that does not use zero > to represent logical "false", such as used by conditionals. True? AFAIK, no. I believe COBOL, PL/I, and maybe even ALGOL68 use false for false. 0 does not compute. I think that would be true of any typed language unless you have implicit conversions. Many of them do, but many of them don't do implicit conversions for boolean. You should check me on that because I haven't done anything in HLL recently. > Yes, I "got" that you are an "Ada is perfect!" fanboy from the c.l.m. post > (you?)... I don't think so. It's got problems, especially the post 95 versions but it's a very nice language. > Like I said, there are, what, 3 or 4 of you guys left? ;-) Ada? I'm not an Ada guy. They have a niche. I have no idea how many people it is but there is more than one company surviving by selling Ada compilers so there has to be some market. It should be used more widely. > It's interesting that you don't like C. C is great. I've probably used a > different set of languages than you, but it consistently ranks at the top of > my list. I think it gets back to what platform(s) you code on most. My comments aren't really relevant for most people since almost none of my coding is on Intel and almost everyone elses is. One of the reasons I never spent much time coding on PC's is I don't like C. > As for Ada, I've seen more than a few archived posts that represent Ada as > just like C but with stronger type checking. Disagree? No, it's a lot different. In a way, all algebraic languages with control structures are similar but that's where it ends. Ada use English like COBOL (your point taken further on) and after you get the hang of the structure I think it's much more attractive to look at and read than C and that's important to me. Ada offers a pretty nice list of features built into the language instead of providing them through libraries so it's more coherent and one-piece feeling than C. Examples: exceptions, storage management, tasking, etc. are all Ada language features. They are not add ons or library calls. That makes Ada very portable, in my tiny experience even more portable than C. People who love C won't like Ada because C is terse and overloads operators and Ada makes you spell stuff out because the compiler and build system is designed to insure that you write what you mean. When you do it should be pretty close to working. > As for the PL/1 variant I programmed, it pointed out one serious mistake > with C: pass-by-value.

It was just as capable, but > no more so. But, that could've been due to it being a non-standard > variation. I haven't used it in a long time but it's a nice language, again with many features built in rather than added on as library calls. IBM puts out a super nice optimizing compiler, it's been improved for decades. One main advantage to PL/I over C is how PL/I handles strings, but since I believe you are a fan of null terminated strings you probably won't agree. PL/I avoids the whole issue of buffer overruns on string operations since it knows the length of the source and target and will positively not blow off the end of a string. That's pretty important for any serious code. I know, the C guys take responsibility for themselves and that is good but in reality they write an awful lot of crap code. I'm not saying PL/I coders don't, mostly because there aren't a whole lot of them around anymore, but PL/I is a better language than C in my opinion and certainly on the mainframe. Elsewhere it would depend on the implementation, but it's a very nice language with almost no downside. > FORTRAN sucked. I *hate* FORTRAN.

That's true, I should have included it. COBOL can be very readable to the point of picking things up really fast. Like anything else it's not impervious to idiots but when used by a competent person coding a solution to a business problem like doing financial reports or moving money etc. there's nothing better.

It's a common joke, but no joke that he told it to me. He > loved it at first, hated it later. I got to where I can read it now but it's just too quirky. Kind of makes me think the people developing the new standards can't let go of old baggage and just take the good and throw out the bad and call it something else. It's been around so long it has sentimental value like an old pair of jeans. They may be ripped and patched and stained but when they come out of the wash nothing fits better. I wanted to like it but since I have no history with it, I decided for me it's not worth it.
