Haven't you started enough arguments like this already?

I think mainly university students, as far as I know. Do you not approve of it? :P

I actually like C as a language, when I did a crash course offered by my uni in it and then used it to build compilers and in conjunction with OpenGL I found to be quite an enjoyable language. But I have been told my "taste" (for lack of a better word) in programming languages is bad by a few people. I seem to be one of the few people, to like and enjoy using scheme and prolog as well.

 

On the actual usefulness of C, I'm assuming you mean implementing something that will be used commercially? Because C was pretty useful doing what I just mentioned above, which by the way was all done on Linux as I'm not fond of anything MS-related.

You seem to be a bit confused. ANSI C has a rather limited standard library. This says nothing about C the language, only the contents of "libc"

 

POSIX provides a much more diverse selection of functions, most of which aren't available in ANSI C.

 

That said, Scheme and Prolog are both interesting languages.

Yeah, I missed your point, I don't know why, I was probably too tired.
