Note: This writeup is half-joking. While I am a C bigot, this is intended with a humorous tone.
This is my
beloved nodeshell. I am
filling it upon
challenge (or, in his words, "
demand") from
kaatunut, who is
no doubt a
crazy,
hemp-
smoking,
communist perl weenie. Please
hear me out before
downvoting.
Now, I am a C coder. I feel low level, application programming is the One True Path. But these days more and more, there are all sorts of hippies trying to spread propaganda that languages other than C exist. They think perl is cool. These are pure lies.
And then there are the web developer weenies, who are the worst of the hippies, living a lie. The lie that HTTP is dynamic. Coding in their trendy unreadable perl CGI, and all the while I am coding a rich online application with BSD sockets. Yes, you can code sockets in perl and the like, but is it nearly as fast or flexible as mine? And I can do all sorts of low-level niceness that you can't.
Of course, we all
experiment with those things in our
youth. I looked at these
hippie languages, and started out
coding in one. Then I went to
rehab,
learned C and became
clean. Then I again
explored these
weenie languages, only to say, "
this sucks because it is not C".
There is only one way to do it, and that is in C.
Learn C, you hippies!
