Why Should I Code in C?

[happyman_smiling]

C programming language has a half baked compiler so you use pointers, manual memory management a lot .Therefore you become a good programmer.

This sounds like a really great way to learn C

C is basically one step above assembly. Getting rid of C makes just as much sense as getting rid of assembly. You can't change what the language boils down to; you can only change the syntax a little bit.

Usually yes C would be faster. For a simple small program no. Basically modern c compilers such as GCC have an optimizer built in. When an assembly program is written by hand it is not necessarily written in the most optimal way.

I think he means that full PC and console games are all made in C++, not mini games.How many MMORG have you seen that is programmed in something other than C/C++? NOT A LOT. Android games compared to iPhone lags more because it has to go through different layers. You also didn't know that they use NDK to enhance the speed of Android games. Why because Java is slow and buggy.

I like C because it's not a new trendy language that everyone is running to
