Oscar, I
suggest you actually use a high level language for a while and then
try going back to C. Doing anything in C (or even java for that
matter) is just so much tedious typing.
I don't program anymore as a way of living. It's just one of the many in
my arsenals.
I know high level programming too. I wrote an entire Financial Systems
for a foreign
government in High Level language in Unix whilst working for a very
refutable and
large International Company. This was from 1985 to 1988.
I work for a number of very refutable International Companies and have
programmed
off and on using high-level languages.
I can program in perl if required but I don't consider my expertise in
that field
competitive. It also depends as to what you consider high-level
programming.
If Fortran, Cobol, PHP, etc you consider high-level my skills in these areas
are still competitive.
It's just that C-language is a convenient language I used to query and
to illustrate
many things in computers. For modelling mainly.
And as well 99 percent of softwares I download from the Internet are
mainly in C.
I suspect most people do too.
C-language is an excellent language to leverage for my kind of interest.
Oh, I started by career as Assembler Programmer on IBM S/360.
