This blog post (the first in a series of three) tries to explain
some of these issues so that you can better understand the
tradeoffs and complexities involved, and perhaps learn a few more
of the dark sides of C.
It turns out that C is not a "high level assembler" like many
experienced C programmers (particularly folks with a low-level
focus) like to think, and that C++ and Objective-C have directly
inherited plenty of issues from it.
