Re: Why I hate c

I love C, but I'm kinda sick in the way that assembly is my favorite language (despite the fact that I don't know too much of it). I like languages that make logical sense. I hate VB, it's absolutly awful. For instance:
"if cheese = 0 then"
compared to
"if (cheese == 0)"
the second just makes sense to me. The first, it's like "Wait, so am i setting cheese equal to zero, or am I just comparing it?". Once you study C, you see the merits to how it behaves and why. It's much more logical than VB once you understand it. In order to gain a true appreciation for C though, you need to study C with assembly. Only then is the true beauty of C revealed.
