official C went downhill more than 20 years ago.

fortunately you can still program in what i called "Safe-C"
in some flippant paper.

i was particulalry impressed with VS2005 which has
wchar_t as a fundamental type which can't be assigned
to anything.

shoot me, i did a if(sizeof(wchar_t) == sizeof(Rune)) etc.

it seems that subjective C is more popular than objective C.
