Hey nobody mentioned cobol :)
I had a friend once who was thinking about suing ICL for teaching him
cobol as a junior programmer, which he believed caused him permanent

I can see how C and asm fit into that picture. One's the portable
assembler you right most of your code in, and the other is the
non-portable assembler that you right the other bits in. How does Java
fit?
Java is just the next level of abstraction. C may be "portable" in
source form, but,

The Hurd project is beeing developed in C++.
Right on
While I do like to program
in C, I think C++ code is much better organized and it's a lot easier to
read.
Well, that depends on who is doing the coding, of course. That is
applicable to any
language. I will admit that BSD code can be *v

You're being redundant.
Oh. Thanks for clearing that up.
Seriously, this is just idle speculation until the OP bothers to tell
us what he intends to use the knowledge for.
Absolutely, which is why I am entitled to my opinion =) My opinion

You're being redundant. C is just a portable ASM. Java is just a slow
portable ASM. Either one should be enough for even the mos
