And where is the love for ANSI C?

As an embedded systems developer for 38 years, with 26 years writing for small threaded RTOS, including 16 and 32 bit DSPs, and the remainder being platform work on QNX Neutrino, NetBSD, and Linux, most of my code has been K&R, then ANSI C.

A very small amount of C++, but by comparison, a very small amount.

Everything else, Shell, Perl, Python, is a shadow by comparison.
