Evil C

19 Dec 2007

I like programming in C, I’m weird that way. It certainly gives you enough rope to hang yourself with if you’re not careful, but at the same time it’s flexible enough to do some really elegant bits of hackery.

For some examples that walk that line between very bad and amazingly neat, look at the evil-c page. There’s some in there that make you cry “oh no they didn’t did they?!”, there’s some where you think “hmmm, must remember that one”, and there’s some where you think “what’s wrong with that, that’s normal isn’t it?”
