- That`s defiantely WRONG :)
- I hate C simply by the way it looks.
- In fact, before "E" that "look-and-feel" was a big problem for me with
- quite any language.
- The only thing before "E" was/is 58K assembly which fits to my "feelings",
- too :)
-
- Now, before blaming me again as "c0der" (not you!), the only thing I`ve
- done so far is OS related stuff by reding Autodocs, other sources or
- courses -> but mostly the first one.
-
- I`d always wished to leave those bad feelings behind to learn more from "C"
- sources and courses which are available everywhere but it didn`t work :)

- Sorry, but "C" is not "E", if there wouldn`t be differences what would it
- be then ? Use old/wacky structures just because it alwas has been the
- standard ?
-
- Another point is, even with the few "C" knowledge I`ve got -> the same
- result can have totally different (from quite good readable up to totaly
- "encrypted") appearings in "C", too.
