Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Where C sits in the development stack.
That is, it tries to remove or simplify the minutae of programming in high-level assembly (which is what C is often called) without fencing off too much that is useful. At the same time, it adds genuine language support for the sort of things the various C libraries try to add and most modern languages support intrinsically.

Put another way, it's trying to create a much better C by looking at what people like in languages like Python.

C has a nasty reputation of requiring programmers to take care of silly details. Strings are the classic example: they are not first-class objects in C. You have to do all the memory management yourself, every time and everywhere. This detracts significantly from ease of development.

Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers?
A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.
New yeah and like GC solves that
wait a minute!@ All transactions must halt while I do GC
hmm ta rumpty dah.......
tech support can I help you?
yer fucking program locks up for 2 minutes every 13

as opposed to,
put some memoryt here,
use it
release it
fucking language designers
New They must have some empirical data to support that choice.
And surely there are modern algorithms that are halfway between the simplest garbage collection and the most aggressive reference counting.

OTOH, I understand the choice to not have to worry about explicit string memory allocation.

Wade, who's wondering why he's defending this new language.

A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.
New All the speed of Python and the convenience of C, eh?
New I think they intended the other way around.
That is, all the speed of C with all the covenience of Python.

Having said that, I'm not a fan of either language.
