The older I get, the more I prefer just plain C.

C is a really great low-level language. If you think about it, there aren't that many.

But I can't imagine trying to do anything over 100k lines in C. Certainly nothing on the scope of WoW.

One thing that's amazing about C is that it's so low level that understanding how to write in it really shows you how to handle the machine.

But high level languages teach you good things, too. Understanding scope and binding in Scheme for instance.

But I don't like C universally. It's terrible for async or callback driven coding.
