On: The cost of forsaking C

[loeg]

By all means teach and use C (I do!), but please teach students to refer to C11 or C99, not C89.

[waynecochran → loeg]

Yes. At least C99.

Also, the blog throws in "and C++" in parentheses. C++ is another beast altogether -- it diverged from C a long time ago -- read Scott Meyer's "Effective Modern C++" if you think C and C++ bear any resemblance.
