C has been "losing ground" not because of random per peeves of those who never wrote a line of code in C but because since C's last standard update there have been other programmin…

Those cloud users can have the same benefit by spending a fraction of the price. That's the point. The question you're trying to ask is whether the added value being promised justi…

Thanks for the insightful post, specially the Dyck language plug. Really cool stuff.
