C is the most difficult Language to read and use. And yes, I have 10 years+
experience in C and C++ so I know what I am talking about. After a few
years of C and C++ it became clear to me that all those great K&R invetions
(array = pointer, type convertions left right and center - to name only
two) are crap.

In C and C++ I spend 10 times as much time inside a debugger as for example
in Ada. And I have only 1 year experience in Ada which shows something
about the quality of C or C++.

As for the OP: Scripting in a C style language: No thank you.

With Regards

Martin.
