The point is that it is another distinct computer language that has
several advantages from its bloated counterpart.
I GET "simplicity". I also get TOO SIMPLE/INADEQUATE.
Yes, that is why I am trying to preserve its simplicity without
keeping its inadequacies.
But its inadequacies are at the foundations, so, it can't be done. It's
the old "same axe I've used for 30 years... had to replace the handle 3
times and the head twice" thing. If you keep either the handle or the
head, you still have the inadequacy, if you replace both, you have
something new. So you see, what you are proposing is indeed impossible.
Who like their axes and don't want to become C++, D, E, F, G, C+-, C--,
C+--C++... programmers? C + (--C++). Or is it C + (--(C++) that you are
conjuring?
ell, I am programmming applications for the iphone in C99 and
objective C. Both languages go very well together and yes
there isn't any C++ that I can see.
Adopter of the wrong language.
Excuse me but that will never go away. The C api is the only glue
that can hold two C++ applicatons compiled with different compilers.
Once there was C and C++, now there are many more languages that are
useful, and moreso. C and C++ are niche languages now, though some of the
oldtimers still use them outside of their increasingly smaller domains.
(OK, that seems a bit futuristic in a C NG, that I grant you. But it will
happen... maybe after you replace the handle and the head a few more
times?).
