Do you have any information to back up any of thos claims? C is one of, if no the, widest used languages. It is taught in many high schools, as well as near every college that has a Computer Science major.

axlgreasetires:
I have no proof.  I just know that it is known mostly by people that don't buy proper program compiling software from major companies such as adobe and microsoft.

"Proper program compiling software?"

A HUGE amount of the software the internet runs on was written in C, and compiled in GCC.

C is pretty much the fundamental programming language responsible for how software developed on home computers, I'd say.

Please, don't just jump out with generalizations like that based on solely your own limited personal experiences.

From Wikipedia's entry on the C programming language:


--- Quote ---C is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system.[1] It has since spread to many other platforms, and is now one of the most widely used programming languages. C has also greatly influenced many other popular languages,[2] especially C++, which was originally designed as an enhancement to C. It is the most commonly used programming language for writing system software,[3][4] though it is also widely used for writing applications.

Just making up facts and posting them does not make you look smarter. C is probably one of the most useful languages to learn, it gives you a nice high level environment with a lot of low level access. I can't imagine a  university not offering some course in C programming.  I would like to see you program for a DAP in flash or VB.

Aside from that, as soon as i finish my exams at my university that does teach C i am going to take a look at the code and see about compiling it as an option in the initial menu.
