It isn't a matter of what can't be done with C, its a matter of what is the
best tool for the job. Those of us who studied Computer Science in college
take pride in writing code that is supportable. I am sorry to say, but most
of the code I have seen written by programmers who studied different
disciplines was not very supportable.
Sorry, just venting.
