Cute name for a programming language, don't you think? Like, they could've called any anything in the world. Imagination was the limit. Yet, Dennis M. Ritchie decided to simply call it C like a gigachad that he is.

There was an A and a B before, retad kun.

>>105708416
There's no A.

>>105708815
a for assembly

>>105708815
A Programming Language

>>105708815
A is for assembly :D

B is for Balls

I'm starting to feel like the C and C++ people who talk about how they love manly C programmers are closeted homosexuals.

>>105709837
C++/C#/Webshit here
I love Beef language

>>105709837
>>105709888
I like Beef too but I'm not gay.

>>105708373 (OP)
It was developed by guy with highIQ they don't give a shit about naming and such they give a shit about if it works or not.

>:3c

>>105709817
C is for Clamhat

>>105709837

>>105709271
That's APL tho

>>105709837
Why do you think they keep spamming these half naked muscular men with C logo photoshopped on the head? It should be obvious it's just bunch of faggots.

>It should be obvious it's just bunch of faggots
i think you're agreeing with him anon

>>105711551
Yes I do

>>105708373 (OP)
No, I don't like the name. They chose C because it's the next letter in BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language).

>>105708373 (OP)
I agree, even the name lacks any sort of creativity. Just a shittier Algol clone.

>>105710702
yeah at the point when C appeared, we already had Lisp and APL
it's such a sad joke that C won the language wars

That's about the rating I'd give lisp and APL, yes

C people are literal NPCs.

>>105708373 (OP)
don't give a fuck, it's just a tool, names do not matter

>>105713335
c syntax is just better than lisp and apl syntax, those only exist to make builting the compiler easier, c syntax is designed to make the user experience better
>>105713735
popularity is a good indicator if something is any good, if barely anyone uses something its likely shit

>>105715445
>c syntax is just better than lisp and apl syntax, those only exist to make builting the compiler easier, c syntax is designed to make the user experience better
Pascal, PL/I, and Algol syntax are designed to make the user experience better, C syntax is designed to make the user experience worse.

>>105715445
>c syntax is designed to make the user experience better
the user experience of C directly suffers from being bad for computers. Macros are a mess, forward declarations are retarded,

>>105715766
The genius of C is that it's bad for computers and people at the same time. It's a joke language like Brainfuck and Malbolge except people took it seriously.

>Ritchie: A closely related aspect is the treatment of arrays and pointers. Given the perenniality of questions about this and the contortions that C++ goes [through] to move away from C on this, it might well be counted as a mistake.
I think arrays and pointers are great but what an absolute humble chad.
