re: #96 Romantic Heretic

C is pretty much why I gave up being a programmer. There was something about it I just did not ‘get’. I was always uncomfortable with it and it never failed to unpleasantly surprise me.

I much preferred Niklaus Wirth’s work like Pascal and Oberon.

But it was obvious the future was going to be C and I was never going to be good at C, so I left the business.

I could cope with C for simple tasks, but C++ was impenetrable for me.
