>>200412>it's been made redundant nowin windows, and once again fuck Microsoft with their bloaty C# aka babbies first language, enough of the hand holding...
C produces computer instruction code very close to what asm asembler language does, it is very fast. The Mac still uses it, it is still used for embedded systems and OS's, it won't be going away anytime soon. Many programs in linux are still wrote in C and out perform many programs wrote in other languages due to its speed, I wrote a program not long ago to pull job results from
indeed.com and filter the results based on my preferences because I was sick of sifting through all the spam and jobs that weren't relevant. I wrote this program in C# and was using the librarys provided to pull the source code down from the sight and get the parts that I could build links to jobs from etc. This was slow, very slow, so I went low level on that fucker using the lowest string formatting and manipulation I could, essentially writing my own methods instead of using the highly praised library's.
The result was much faster, less than 5 seconds vs 30+ seconds to do the same task, the only downside was the code was hard to red and maintain once I started.
