No need to sully CL with this kind of elitism. Any language you need to be a genius to use is a bad language. That's one of the fundamental issues with C. We're all imperfect idiots some of the time and one instance of undefined behavior breaks any guarantees the language gives you.

I find that languages with a high intellectual barrier to entry are much more pleasant places to be since people like the OP can't understand them and we never have people try to bully us into doing things _the right way_.

This is someone who says things like

>It's important for the project as whole to be able to move forward and rely on modern tools and technologies and not be held back by trying to shoehorn modern software on retro computing devices.

While on company time.

Yes well, glad to hear there’s no one bullying people there!

I don't normally upvote snark, but... Bravo.

Elitism is it's own form of bullying and needs to be treated as such.

I don't particularly like large swaths of humanity, but I also try hard not to be elitist towards them either. I'm not always successful, but I make a strong effort as my family raised me to be respectful to everyone, even if you don't personally like them.

I'm glad you understand how self defense works.
