content: To be autistic about it, C is still a high level language. We aren't talking about assembly language or machine code. I agree so far as these people 'learn' whatever is trendy, whatever is being taught in some 5 week seminar by some generic hipster. However it's annoying when people shit on scripting languages because they arent strongly typed/compiled.  Yes its easier for newbies who don't know a float from root beer to make simple shit but a professional has to figure out the typing issues eventually one way or another. At some point I stopped giving a shit about the language as long as they pay me. The task accomplished makes the programmer, not the language.
