I knew the guy who wrote the above article must be an idiot when I read this:


". C and Fortran are excellent languages for numerics,"

C is excellent for numerics? I am falling over laughing now.

Show me 10 lines of C code, and I'll show you a bug.
Show me 10 lines of C code doing floating point and moving numbers around, and
I'll show you 5 bugs.


What a funny world we live in.
