October 18, 201114 yr C still has the cleanest, most elegant syntax and generates the fastest, most compact object code (after assemler). I too have the book! I read somewhere the difference between smart and genius is that when someone thats smart does something you think to yourself: "I could have done that too", whereas when a genius does something new you always think "I would have never thought of that." Whell, for me C is definitely is the genius category. Cheers, - jahman.
October 18, 201114 yr I too still have my K&R book. Its the one programming book I'd never throw away, even though I haven't cracked it open in years.
