I've programmed in C a very long time, Tkil describes it accurately.
I got sick of re-writing code, doing the same thing over and over
in C.  That's why I started looking at other languages like C++,
Java, Perl, and Python.  When I started the quest, C++ just wasn't
there.  Now with the STLs it's probably much better.

I find programming at a much higher level a lot more fun.
I want a string with 70 equal signs: '=' * 70...  I want an
array that automaticly sizes as I put stuff into it: []

I've been programming in C a fair bit recently, because of performance
reasons.  I'm looking at using glib, which includes automatically-allocated
strings (though not garbage collected), hashes, arrays, etc.  I was looking
at using C++ with STL, but I just am not that comfortable with C++.
