Do autistic people love C so much because it has no abstractions? They are very literal in their way of communicating right?

>>105815463 (OP)
>C
>no abstractions
Only a no coder retard will say this.
C is a high level language actually.

>>105815463 (OP)
Autism is not a real disease in many countries outside the Anglosphere. The Military Industrial Complex loves C as it is used in embedded systems for weapons to genocide Muslims.

>>105815489
the department of defense uses Ada95 thoughbeit

>>105815489
That's the purpose of the GATE program, to recruit children for the MIC. C is not inherently used for the MIC but is very popular for this purpose.

>>105815496
The military also uses very old computers for opsec as they are basically impossible to hack.

>>105815463 (OP)
C is not a low-level language and your computer is not a fast PDP-11.

irrespective of language, killing pedo worshippers is a good thing.

>it has no abstractions
What do you mean? C on its entirety is an abstraction itself, and it pretends it's running on PDP-11 on x86 hardware.

>>105815489
autism is literally german dna

I like abstractions. What I don't like is ambiguity.

>>105815489

Wtf I love C now

>>105815463 (OP)
C hasn't really changed since 1972, so I can get real work done instead of updating frameworks every 2 days.
Also, go try programming a microcontroller or PC BIOS or OS kernel in JavaScript.

You have autism

kill yourself

>>105815463 (OP)
C has a lot of abstractions but C programmers aren't smart enough to know they are abstractions. Autistic people love languages like Lisp, Haskell, ML, Rust, and Ada because they're logical and make sense.

>>105815489
This is because C programmers are liars who lack morals. Most programmers care more about how their code is going to be used, but C programmers don't.

>>105816771
>C hasn't really changed since 1972, so I can get real work done instead of updating frameworks every 2 days.
It changed a lot but C programmers do not understand change. They think it was always like this, like actual NPCs in a game or the people in 1984.
>Also, go try programming a microcontroller or PC BIOS or OS kernel in JavaScript.
If you can do it in Lisp, you can do it in JavaScript, and you can do it in Lisp.

there are people valid reason to use it (embedded). and then there are mouthbreathing retards who failed with c++. they now congregate here on g and perform circlejerk rituals on how smeert they are.

Ridding the world of mohammedans is very moral, in fact.

No. It's an umbrella label for a poorly understood set of overlapping conditions, not all autists behave like how you imagine them to be

I'm le "high functioning ADHD Autist" and no, Im not always physically hyperactive, yes I can into sarcasm and facial expressions, I'm okay with using abstractions and don't have a strong opinion on C

Some pure autists love the rigidity of low level C, but others like me need a constant change of pace

>Some pure autists love the rigidity of low level C, but others like me need a constant change of pace
C lacks rigidity. It's a very sloppy language. Everything about it is sloppy and ugly.

>>105815476
I'm surprised that nobody has dogpiled on you for being correct.

No, autists love C because they like solving problems and C lets you make plenty of problems without actually preventing the program from running. It's like a drug for autists because they can hack their own schizo solutions and solve a million self imposed problems and the shit still runs. They have their own crazy world where they have the power to do things their way without explaining it to others.

>They have their own crazy world where they have the power to do things their way
That sounds more like the Hollywood fetishized version of Savantism rather than everyday Autistm. Those people are extremely rare, there are maybe less than 400 savants identified who are alive today. And savantism, by definition, means they have crippling social or intellectual disabilities that come along with those talents. Else they'd just be an everyday genius rather than a savant

strongly agree with this though:
>they like solving problems ... It's like a drug for autists
yes, problem solving and learning are incredibly addictive for me. But no, I don't have some secret vivid world that I retreat to. It's more like physical & emotional sensations are intense, and my mind is constantly in the background categorizing things and trying to translate them into problem-solving.
Yes I can have a visually vivid mind theater and imagine an apple, colors, rotations, sounds...but I do not believe that is unique to spergs (also hallucinogens amplify that ability)

just a zoned out thinker that doesn't always pick up on social queues super quickly, but Im not socially unaware either. high IQ probably just from virtue of tackling problems over and over and from genes, not from autistic skill boost. struggle with life skills
t. just my perspective

That's more like Lisp (except you could just read the HyperSpec and find a better solution instead of hacking your own). C is the language where nothing works and people are always passing the buck and blaming other people for everything.
