    And C does not support oop/ood and because of that it cannot fully support design patterns.

    dont get me wrong I am not saying C programmers are not needed or that C is dead, but chances are most C jobs today are maintenance jobs...not development.(unless you work for a firm where everybody is 40 or above)

    Ok CGPGroup, you are saying some real weird stuff that makes no sense.. Before I get into an argument is there anything documentation to backup your claims? Specifically on UNIX (FreeBSD) and gcc or cc (compiler for FreeBSD). Are you really familair about what your talking about? Sorry if this seems like a stab but I really have to ask.

    lol the clash of the paradigms shows its face again.

    I cant speak for other people but when I write C code I follow iso C99 standards
    as the compilers I use dont normally have c++ preprocessors... It helps for portability.

    I dont understand what made no sense? here is the site for GCC http://gcc.gnu.org/ GCC is a C++ compiler.

    I dont understand what made no sense? please elaborate..

    The part about me not writing C code and its actually C++. please explain! I dont want to read though the entire documenataion for gcc I use cc on FreeBSD, I want you to point me to what says I'm writing C++ code instead of C.

    well I strongly recomend you start using C++. using C is like driving your car in 2nd gear. its ok to drive in 3rd, 4th and 5th when needed.

    wait a second before I mis-understand you. do you code in C++ also or just C all the time?

    by the way the portability arguement is nonsense.

    do you ever use a class in your code? or use the STL?

    nope straight C with just functions and structures. I dont use stl I with my own data structures.

    lol leo, just ignore this user.

    He needs to take of his blinders and have a take a more in depth view of the
    world of computing. I know of a few companies in Jamaica that actively develop
    new applications in ansi C.
