Javascript is not superior to C. Period.

>>59377395
Ok first of all:

/* str_concat.c */
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
char* str_concat(char const* s1, char const* s2, char* dest) {
size_t tot_size = 0;
char* siter;
for (siter = s1; *siter; siter++) tot_size++;
for (siter = s2; *siter; siter++) tot_size++;
dest = realloc(dest, tot_size + 1);
tot_size = 0;
for (siter = s1; dest[tot_size] = *siter; siter++) tot_size++;
for (siter = s2; dest[tot_size] = *siter; siter++) tot_size++;
return dest;
}

/* your_program.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "str_concat.h"
int main() {
char const* h = "Hello ";
char const* w = "world";
char* r = malloc(0); /* this is allowed */
printf(str_concat(h, w, r));
free(r);
return 0;
}

Was that so hard?

Second of all, if you think javascript is doing anything less under the hood, you're wrong.

Thirdly, string concatenation is unnecessary. If you want concatenated output, just use printf with %s. If you want strings concatenated for any other purpose, just use fprintf with %s and direct it to the relevant stream pointer for your purpose.

Fourthly, please, like string concatenation is any easier in raw electrical engineering, as you seem to suggest it is.

Fifthly, engineering is a bad programming language either way, else programming languages would not have been invented.

Sixthly, if your obsession with transistors is meant as a rhetorical device for comparison with the perceived fallacy of saying we should still program in C when javascript is available -- as I suspect it is -- then that's a false analogy. Javascript is useful for cross platform GUI software. C is a better choice for:
>writing platforms themselves
>cross platform CLI software
>native GUI software from cross platform source code
Hard-wiring computational procedures is a better choice for:
>programming embedded machines that won't be programmable after manufacturing, e.g. toy car brains, non-algebraic calculators
>building processors
