Give me one good reason why you should write software (desktop applications) in any language other than C?
What do C++ (let's face it, no one is writing C++ they just absorb planets with frameworks and get 15% perf increase over Java/C#) C# or Java (lol) offer? All their libs/VEE's are bloated, slow and have shit ton of overhead due to abstraction they offer to "enterprise software". I see no point in writing good/fast/low overhead/optimized code in C#/Java since i'm writing the same code I would be writing in C, except that with C i would get 50% better performance if not more because I can do custom ASM optimizations and compiler can do much more than some 5ms per func JIT.
I don't know about Rust/Go/ or any other SJW shit but I guess they're even worse than C#/Java.

Let's see your multithreaded, maintainable, efficient C, anon.

Here's a big one: HeartBleed.
There are many more, but this one comes up first.
Here's another one:
You'll spent 3-5x more time writing code in C than your coworker in Rust to accomplish the same task. And no one guarantees your code will be correct, btw.
No one cares anymore if your code is 2% faster. Parallelism and memory safety are much more important now. Also, on 4+ cores your code in Rust will probably be faster than in C, even if you try really hard.
>don't know about ... SJW shit ...
Wow, so smart from you, keep it up.
If you care so much about few percent of performance, why don't you write everything in assembly? Give me one good reason.

This.
Cause I'm an EAI (Enterprise application integration) consultant.

I make all my desktop applications in JRuby, compiled to executable jars with swing gooees because it's comfy.

Because unless you want to spend a good portion of your life writing the UI you'll just pick C#, write a DLL in C for the critical parts, and call it using InteropServices.

It's the only desktop worth writing desktop applications for. Otherwise you'll do it for Linux and you're entirely justified on using C for writing an autistic desktop application for autistic desktop users.

So basically you're an ignorant fuck. Just pick C then, post results

I like that. When I build a sexbot I will program it to say that by default when describing 3DPD.
Can I use Plan9 C outside of Plan9?

If you use plan9port, yes.
