No, it means that's all you need to get work done. I didn't dink around with
shell at all until I started scripting Mac OS X and other Unix systems. And
if I never have to touch C again, it will be too soon, and that goes for
it's syntax as well.

And would it KILL programmers who love C and C - like languages to comment
their source a little better? Like at ALL?
