This is not a chat room. What was your C question?

Why is it that so many C programmers are unable to distinguish between

that they more usually infest ?

why it seems to be /only/ C programmers who forget what newsgroup they
are in.)

Well, I'm a C programmer, and don't recall forgetting which one this
is. :-)

Why is that we only flame someone for being a C programmer, whilst
those posting "Just write your OS in Haskell" or "that driver would be
best implemented in Erlang" and other such silliness get a pass?
Well, unless I'm mistaken, most higher level languages are written in
C (their core at least). Would that be a good enough reason? =)
