    Beautiful tool!

    Watched first 15 mins of the lecture, will watch rest tonight hopefully. Was good so far, really enjoyed it.

    Beside his intensive use of underscores I share most of his oppinions.

    Quite nice video, well I need to finish it, but it is nice so see people out there who see longer names and more spaces not as a waste of time. Also his hints about using "foreign" stuff and being trapped in the future is something everyone should keep in mind, when coding.

    No only because of "external stuff" being discontinued, but also because of being trapped with unfixed or newly introduced bugs.

    Thumbs up for this one!

    Nice listening, I don't agree in all points, but it's really overview.

    Nice to see someone encouraging people as they try to educate themselves about this.
    Frankly, C isn't my favorite tool anymore, but there was a period (admittedly during the LAST century), when almost everything I was doing was a combination of C, assembly, and some proprietary database stuff that would take WAY too long to explain.

    Whilst I can code in C++ I rarely do, so what is your point?

    Based on the link what you've sent, I suspected that you're a C++ enthusiast.

    A little bit of a gentle trolling I guess but I just thought it was an interesting lecture given the guy in the first video proclaiming ”C is the only language ever needed for everything ever”.

    Much as I love C myself it's not always the best choice for any given job even though it can theoretically be used for any job. :)

    I just skipped through the interview video.

    ”Have you used any programming languages other than C?”

    ”No never”

    On the other hand, this guy made many (nice) things with C.
    Considering these things, his sentences aren't so laughable.
