Meh...as soon as I see dots, it's all C to me. Life is too short to use C.
When you see stars (*, **, ***) you should think of C. All those
lovely pointers can make you see stars. :-)
Heh...no thanks. There's no reason why I need to type like I have tourette's
just to move a file from point a to point b. I don't want to care what the
bloody file system is, that's the OS's job. I don't need to know what the
free memory address is, that's the OS's job.
In fairness to C, while you do have to allocate a quantity of
memory, you don't normally have to worry about the addresses of the
chunk you allocated. The compiler and OS kernel manage this behind
your back. Now if you're talking assembly language, then you really
do have to manage your memory and know what you have at what address.
But it's FUN John, FUN. Where's your geeky desire for total control
of the machine? Geez, if you don't know what's in your registers,
what's the point of playing? ;-)
