(Try THAT in AppleScript!) But my eyes began to glaze over at the
notion of header files, linking, compiling, etc. I just wanted to
write little programs and run them, not make a career of mastering
steep learning curves. (It cracks me up to read that Objective-C is a
"simple" language.)
C is hardly a language for hobbyists or novices. Hell, it's hardly a
language for experts. The proper comparison is probably with Python.
OK...can you wait a minute while I go learn Python? I certainly don't
want to be making improper comparisons here.
