Uh, what sucks about Unix and C? I don't think they suck at all.

Everything sucks, but Unix and C certainly don't suck less. I'd rather stab myself in the eyes with rusted forks than profess my love for either.

C is an overgrown assembly language, and Unix doesn't have enough kitchen sinkery going on to make all of the tiny programs that do one thing well even marginally useful.
