I don't use C anymore because I don't have any problems
that C handles better than Perl or Java or Lisp or
Delphi (which is for the whole system, not the Pascal.)

If I wrote drivers or spreadsheet recalc engines, I'd
use C. I don't. I use Java for web applets, Perl for
CGI and local file processing utilities, Lisp for genetic
algorithms experiments, and Delphi for commercial windows
apps (series of vertical market products).

Thanks to the availability of these wonderful tools, I
don't use C for anything anymore. Are these the rantings
of a "fanatic"? You be the judge....  ;-)
