That's because C deals with how computers actually think. All this new stuff with languages is wonderful, and often has some uses in various cases, however none of it relates to how a computer actually works. C is a good "mid level" language. By that I mean it does a good job of structuring programs in terms of how they actually work on a processor, while still being fairly easy for a human to work with.
I use C in my day job and I like it, but I prefer to code in Scheme because it is closer to what a human being thinks. 95% of the software out there do not need to run at full CPU speed, so we can spare ourselves the pain and code quickly in an elegant, beautiful language.
Have you seen their per capita income? That's easy for them, that would be impossible for a Brazilian like me. Well, unless my wife had already a very high income.
The Lua programming language is elegant, small, fast, powerful and easy to embed. It's currently the #1 scripting language for games, and it's developed in Brazil.
I don't know why you wouldn't trust anything that comes from here.
Yes, we haven't a piece of shit like Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly around here and I very much prefer this way. If you don't like the "commie fucktards" so please move the fuck off outta my country.
Brazil is getting more and more involved with Open Source software. The Ministry of Communications has just offered to sponsor the development of an open source software they need. This can put us seriously ahead.
For Bob to reply to such critisisms with "You're wrong" without offering any explanation suggests arrogance. That is the kind of thing one expects of Microsoft. Red Hat need to offer a better explanation than "you are wrong".
I want to know why I'm wrong blaming Red Hat for shipping an experimental compiler, too. I was using Red Hat since version 6.0, not too long, coming from Slackware, and I should say I was in love with it. But this last version, while having lots of improvements, cannot run my own software.
I compiled Qt, then my app, and it locks. Is it a compiler fault? The Mesa mess Red Hat invented? What if I remove Mesa and compile it myself, oh, what about XFree 4.0 without the Mesa RPMs?
Now I'm using Debian, not very happy, but it works. At least.
After KDE release their own GIMP, xmms, GNOME update and make prettier icons I may give them a try. But I prefer my desktop "pure", all GTK+, just the best software.

This makes no sense. Doctors are paid in countries with public healthcare as well. Dare I to say that Cuba has some pretty good doctors?
Some people really must read the Blue Ocean Strategy book.
You obviously are an intruder in a site for nerds.
At least according to them: http://www.sqlite.org/mostdeployed.html
Try it and you'll understand.

BTW, despite all prejudices, Scheme is not as slow as most people believe.
Even the Coral cache this time!

I don't care about the shape of the breaks.

I can take criticism yes, I just don't like stupid ideas.

What you've just written has nothing to do with what I've written. Grow up.

Try the Lua bindings. Lua is a much better language than PERL anyway.
