(Thanks again.)<BR/><BR/>Many years ago when C compilers were just emerging for microprocessors I was happily writing code with Intel's PL/M. It is my all time favorite language and probably the best time of my career. Later on, when micro-based C compilers became mature, I resisted working with C programmers and projects. I didn't like all the fancy shortcuts which were considered pretty much mainstream C. I don't like having to decompile a line of source code to figure out what it is doing.<BR/><BR/>So I'll have to agree with you but I don't even like a lot of the pretty standard stuff in C. Oh, I've written lots of lines of code in C but my C code looks pretty much like my PL/M code, or Fortran, Cobol, C++, Java, VB, C# or even ActionScript.<BR/><BR/>My long time programming partner tried to get me interested in Perl but I just didn't like it. Unfortunately if I had only followed his advice I'd probably be employed today.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Jim FreerUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10184741396560884322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674134548655639627.post-85476404112877924672008-05-14T06:09:00.000-07:002008-05-14T06:09:00.000-07:00It's no soooo secret as you think.The programming ...It's no soooo secret as you think.<BR/><BR/>The programming language C has this features since ages ago...
