No, Jacob, I'm not an idiot. And if you'd not be bullied, don't bully
in turn. I've programmed in several languages successfully, and I
realized in 1991 that C was overrated because it allows smart people
to make stupid mistakes in service of providing an old-fashioned form
of computing "power" that is for the most part extremely marginal
today.

This is the Walter Mitty fantasy that the programmer is somehow in
reality assisting, if not second guessing, the "real man" hardware
engineer by squeezing cycles using a language which violates rules
made for lesser men. It allows programmers to avoid thinking in the
form of better problem definition and algorithm research.

It supports the nonsensical hacker "ethic" mythos that fat,
unimaginative and uncreative corporate shitheads are in reality
creative artists when they create software that creates silly problems
because of the shortcuts those slobs have taken.

Fuck you, Monsieur. I'll certainly be less interested in defending you
against the thugs in this newsgroup since you have proven you're a
thug, who like Heathfield has prostituted himself in order to
commercially promote a product.
