Wrong wrong wrong.
I'm opposed to C, pointers, and all that goes with it, because there
are much better languages in the world for most of the things I
(and other people, I suspect) want to do, and I'm fed up with all
this argument over a brain-dead low-level 20-year-old language.
Give me ML, some other functional language, maybe Scheme, maybe
even Eiffel, Quest, Amber, or whatever, but leave out the C.
