Ah ok, I thought you were starting a "C above all" thread. :)
Well that would not be a discussion, would it?
Anyone against it? C is above all for the things it was developed,
simple as that.
I'm against it. C's machine model is outdated, and it has never
performed as well on floating point code as Fortran does. It gets
trounced by a language designed for 1950's computers!!!
I find it quite bizarre that both C and Fortran are used as if they were
absolute performance standards, a theoretical upper bound.
