>The price of commercial compilers wasn't the only issue with Ada. It never had any friends in the UNIX culture.
'''>UNIX culture always ignored safer system programming languages from the 60 and 70's.

>Of course, the poor legibility of C is a direct consequence of the use of special characters. Here you can see that the authors just did not have the experience that Wirth had, as many operators are poorly chosen. The symbol ^ for differencing in Pascal reproduces the nature of a pointer much better than the star, which is also used as a multiplication sign. It has done better with the “->”, with which composite components can be addressed. And I have never understood why == and != is used for comparisons, instead of = and <>. '''I often have the impression that the sole aim of C syntax is to be different from Algol or Pascal, and not more easily comprehensible.
>Perhaps the original aim was to save space, but this means that C programs have to be commented much more, which wins you nothing. The partially cryptic nature of C actually attracts some programmers who love this; there are even programming competitions in C such as “Obfusticated C”. Here programs that no one can read win prizes. In this example the need to avoid a buffer overflow and append the binary zero makes the C program even longer than the Pascal program'''. (Note: Of course, “Obfusticated C” competitions have nothing directly to do with C, but they represent a culture that sees an art in writing cryptic programs that are neither readable nor easy-to-understand. The fact that people who are predisposed to using C instead of Pascal does however have something to do with the programming language.)

now it all makes sense
unix niggers chosen C as their language because it is unreadable and they can pretend to be evil dark hackers that type strange symbols into computer. same like when they claim that CLI is better than GUI, in reality they prefer CLI because they can memorize some nigger commands from manual and then feel like DARK HACKERS that control computers with strange letters and stuff
unix niggers care about how they are perceived, they don't care about productivity or software safety and quality. so unix niggers are similar to objective-c apple gay starbucks soy devs, they are just from different team, both teams hate each other but in reality both teams are bunch of dumb niggers
hacker/unix culture = dumb shit niggers that want to show off that they memorized some cryptic magic commands and they are DARK HACKERS.
