I love C.
companies pay me lots of $$ to maintain old C code full of bugs. I am
never out of work. All those long hrs I charge for looking for C bugs
I could not do if the code was written in Ada, at least there will not be so
much time spend on chasing bugs years and years after the code was written.
thanks Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan for comming up with C, I love
you guys, you have invented the best job security language :)
