The syntax mandates more memory than a few other languages.
For eg, const char* is different from char const*. Though all
languages have it, C, Perl and other such languages needs a lot more
things to be remembered when compared to languages like Python. Also,
manpages are not available by default. So, if you forget what the
parameters to send() are, you are lost if you don't have manpages-dev
installed. But in Python(and I guess with Perl as well), you can
afford to do help(something) from the interpreter(or perldoc -f
something for perl). Thanks
