it's not that I want to know where Pelle's live or what he eats, I'm just wondering... why don't he have any profile or history about him and this C compiler. I know that it's not important to most of us, but whenever I HATE something or LIKE or better LOVE something may it be in real or virtual world, I always loved to know what, who's, where, and why about the author and his materpiece. It similar to a movie... If I find a movie really great I appreciate/praise the artist(actors/actress), but more on its producers, directors, and writers (yes, those behind the camera). If I didn't like it, I usually blame those behind the staff.
hehe :wink: sorry it's just my nature.
oh! yes, I do like Pelle's C, and I also had read about the hidden story about C++. However, of the current software industry situation, competition is its twin. It cannot be removed unless it's not commercial or publicly available. I'm saying this because, I have touched and worked with many Rapid Application Development (simply known as RAD)software. I enjoyed a few, but still I stick to C/C++ as this is the first language I learned. One thing that's lurking on my mind, if C programmers don't like (or worst... HATE) C++... aren't most user programs written from these RAD tools? aren't many of these RAD tools written using C++? ok enough about it...
all I'm saying is that computer programming language were not meant to compete to each other based on how easy or complex each of them to use, rather its about the output, the product, the outcome. Why would I use a RAD tool if it's too BUGGY? and why would I use a complex, difficult language if I only need to program some basic tasks.
P.S. hehe my apologies for barging in to the forum with these words on my head. I just had a bit of frustrations working on a project im working on. it's C++ its microsoft and it's a plug-in tool for NeoBook. speaking of NeoBook, I've had some test on converting the C++ SDK to C but I had a minor bug problem with (it's within NeoBook, probably), though I manage to make it work. However, i have a question... why would I convert C++ to C if C++ can compile C? isn't that should make C++ better than C?
well, that's (almost) everything on my head.
btw, although honestly I had not made any programs using it, I still like Pelle's C. and I want to know what's behind it?, how did it came up? , who made it? , when it was started? , what's the purpose?
oh well, how many times did I said sorry? :oops: ... again sorry, but hey at least I shared something may it be good, not-good or worst.
