&gt; As much as you make fun of C<p>I didn&#x27;t make fun of C. I made fun of a comment posted by a C programmer, which is very different. I have absolutely nothing against C.<p>&gt; C will teach you to keep you programs simple and efficient, because the language requires it<p>From what I&#x27;ve read, the OpenSSL codebase is definitely not simple, and I&#x27;m not sure it&#x27;s efficient either—it would depend on how you define efficiency. So your affirmation seems factually incorrect.<p>Other than that, I agree with your post. Simplicity is awesome. No point in using Angular to build a landing page if static HTML can do the job just as well. (Edit: let me take that back. There can be a point: the pleasure of experimenting and learning something new.)
