Safer system programming languages with good type systems are like a drug that make it impossible to go back to C.

My first drug was Turbo Pascal, from 4.0 all the way to TPW 1.5.

Naturally the only thing C had going for it was being a language with an OS. As in regard to its features it was already unatractive in 1990 for me.

Thankfully in 1993, C++ was already an option that also came with an OS, as it became adopted by OS vendors in their SDKs.
