I can
safely be ignored as Mr Gwyn announced already.

Um, when did he announce that? I see a message
from him on this thread, saying

I take issue with Navia's characterization of C's
status, its past and its future, as well as with
several of his technical assertions. There are so
many disputable points that I don't wish to address
them individually at this time.

He didn't ignore you; he *read* your proposal and
found that he disagreed with much that it says. He read
your proposal, it seems, with more care than you read his
response.

Do you see, yet, what I've been trying to tell you?
If the mere fact that Doug disagrees with your proposal is
enough to distort your impression of what he wrote, how
can you expect your contentious language to get a more
careful hearing? "Be done by as ye do."


We have a discussion at work some time ago. There was
a library that we could use, but it had only a C interface,
not a C++ interface.

We speak about that, and then the project manager said:

Programming in C?
That would be inconvenient.

And that was it.

In the discussion about this in comp.lang.c somebody wrote:

It seems unlikely to me that any large scale development organization
would start a brand new application with 100K or more LOC in C today.

Nobody objected to that.

Outside this discussion group, people (after being taught
how bad C is by all those C++ books) believe it, and actually
there is no reason for them to change.
