Extensions to the language with libraries, etc., have made it a very good applications language. A language that can handle systems and applications is bound to invite the ravings of bigots! Another part of this is the conception that C is "not for be- ginners". This is a good ego boost for C programmers, even if they aren't systems programmers. Thus, the scornful flames can be expected. <_Jym_> | Jym Dyer | Nashua, New Hampshire | ...decvax!decwrl!rhea!vaxuum!dyer |
