Why Code in C

Loved this three minute animation ...

Horrible, awful video. The video's author clearly doesn't know what he/she is talking about.

O_o

Yog Sothoth!

Who knew how far wrong you could go with Microsoft Sam(?),a handful of misinformation, and tired complaints?

That sounds like a non-programmer trying to comment on programming. I guess it's better than writing a VB GUI to trace an IP address, or "programming" your satellites in HTML5.

Frankly, the important thing is to learn to program (which is not the same as learning a programming language), and to gain exposure to various styles of programming (procedural and object-oriented are musts, functional is nice, a low level language helps you understand more about the underlying machine, and you may want to learn the difference between class-based and prototype-based OOP).

Once you've learned how to program, and you've got a solid basis of exposure to various programming concepts, it's not hard to learn the languages you need to do whatever job.

You should program in C because it's fun.

"I’ve heard that if you know C, you know C+ and C++ except for a few syntax changes."
lol C+ isn't even a language

"Apple tried to turn a functional programming language into an object oriented one, and they got their objective – Objective C.".
C is procedural, not functional.

"Does C code work with C+ and C++ and C minus or whatever else they call the other C versions?
Pretty much, yes. The only one where it needs some finessing is C-sharp."
lol, 'C minus' (yes I know C-- is a language, but not C-) and 'C-sharp instead of C#'
