As old time C programmer, I disagree. Sure someone can make a mess of C code with wild and crazy macros, structures and nested recursions. But with some discipline (which I inherited from Fortran and PL/I), it can be quite efficient and easy to understand. Regex, I agree. Quite cryptic. I don't always get it.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

No worries. I didn't think you were. I just didn't want anyone to think I was being totally serious. I love C. Sometimes breathe it. :)

Yup -- every language can be used poorly. "Modern" languages try to make things idiot proof, but that will always fail. Any time anyone makes something idiot proof, someone else makes a better idiot. :laugh:
