I don't think a flame is in order, I think it's about damn time someone
said this.

I may not be the best programmer, hell I might not even be a decent
programmer, but everything I write, or have written, under Linux can be
compiled er directly executed on just about anything. That means that in
C, you can compile it as ANSI with no problems.

Lately, I have been working with tcl/tk. Totally portable. On the fly
compiling. Decent structuring, the language makes sense to me.  I
reccomend it to anyone who is tired of C's little intrisnics between
systems.  The best part is... It's ported to just about everything with a
monitor and a keyboard. If you want to write spiffy graphical programs,
use this instead of a proprietary library in C.

label still feels like a typo when I type it though...
