I never liked C.<p>Back when I got to learn it, around 1993, I had already used Turbo Pascal 3, 5.5 and 6.0.<p>C seemed so primitive and unsafe in regards to Turbo Pascal features.<p>However the same person that got me into C, also showed me C++.<p>There it was, a language that could be used as safely as Turbo Pascal, provided one made use of the language features instead of the C copy-paste compatibility.<p>When Turbo Pascal stopped being a possibility, I joined ranks with the C++ side, in the C vs C++ flame wars.<p>Even teached C++ at the university as a senior student.<p>Only used C instead of C++, when asked to do so by university teachers or customers.
