10 Reasons to use Python 3

when I used C for hash tables etc, but C++ for any presentation work. I also did a lot of embedded work
where I used C almost exclusively, and some assembler as well.

I tried above to distinguish differences, not similarities between the two language families.

i started IBM 370 assembler in June 1972 on an IBM System360 model 75 and C in March 1982 on a Decsystem20 model 2060.  i never did any C on IBM systems and never did any assembler on DEC systems.  i did. once, build most of my existing C code on a Linux Debian install running on a Hercules emulator running on a Sun Sparcstation 85 running OpenBSD.

i avoided C++ and glad i did.

i wrote my own AVL binary search tree in C but never ended up doing it in assembler.  i wish i had.

the Decsystem20 has a 36 bit word which was fun in C.  char was genuine 7-bit and 5 of them were packed into a 36 bit word.  that slowed down single char writing.  long was -34359738368 .. 34359738367.
Tradition is peer pressure from dead people

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American.
