The really sad thing about a lot of these kinds of debates is that many
people are frustrated at the long 'learning curve' for C. Many who
have programmed in other languages for years don't want to be forced
to 're-think' their programming style to suit a language. However, the
fact that one HAS programmed for years in a language is perhaps a good
reason to take a step back and consider some alternative methods. It's
too bad that it takes more time than many are willing to invest...
