I think C is a great candidate for any type of programming you chose to do. What programmers need to focus on more is architecture, design, patterns of programming, etc. Instead of that we focus on elegant coding styles and templated solutions. Programmers want to stay away from the system they're targetting because it doesn't let them create "elegant" inneficient, sometimes useless, worlds of classes and abstractions. In the process we deplore how compilers are not doing their job, and hardware is going in the wrong direction. Making some HW way more complicated than it should be already. I think the hardware is doing just fine. And I wish more programmers would think like some HW designers: the right architecture for the right task. Language becomes a detail after that, not important. -rachid --- Michael Walter <mic...@gm...> wrote: > On Apr 1, 2005 5:27 PM, > chr...@pl... > > Sadly, C++ (and C) is fundamentally broken in its > handling of memory > > and there's really no getting around it.
