and for large applications where the programmer needs to be close to the
hardware (programming in the?). like the 3.5 million lines of C code
that comprise the linux kernel...
I'm sick of lazy programmers who keep complaining how C doesn't hold
your hand VB or some crap. The language does not the coder make. A
good programmer will be able to make lisp, C, smalltalk (etc. etc.) do
what they need it to.
