	C is near-God in Berkeley, and I have been using it intensively.
	Personally, I think the design of C deserves a Nobel Price for
	Computer Science.  The structure and syntax is so clean, and it
	is reasonably high-level for comfortable programming as well as
	reasonably low-level for real wizard works.  Also, C is almost
	a one-to-one correspondence to assembly language (such as i++
	and i-- for INC and DEC instructions, the use of pointers, arrays
	implemented as pointers, function value returns etc.)  When you
	REALLY sit down and think about the design of C, you will realize
	how beautiful (and how incredibly superior to Pascal and Ada) it
	is.
