  • C is the most efficient programming language

    From Nightfox@eric.oulashin@gmail.com to All on Tue Nov 2 09:45:49 2021
    I haven't done much programming in pure C, but I thought this article was interesting. It says C is the most efficient programming language as far as power consumption, speed, and memory usage:

    It's fast and efficient because it does basically nothing for you to
    safeguard you shooting yourself in the foot. Troubleshooting things in C is
    so much fun...hehe

    I did my CS school in ANSI C, with a proper IDE, stepping through variables wasn't any better or worse than any other language - or so I thought.


    ... What do you think of the guests?

    Oophf. The thing is, C lets you express things that are often
    associated with errors, but that just aren't representable in
    other languages. What do you get when you add an integer
    number to an array in C? Answer: a pointer. By any reasonable
    definition, that should be a type error, but it's not. Other
    languages that don't let you do things that are ... unexpected,
    tend to be easier to debug.

    You mean these darn things can't program themselves yet? [-(
