Do you have the AUTHORIZATION to ask him that?

Because I'm old and saw a gray hair today.
Plucked the F#$%er.

Good old-fashioned C for me, too. I haven't coded in C for a good few years but I still regard it as my first language. It has an elegance that modern languages just don't have.
I'm lucky to find a brown hair these days, so maybe age is a big factor in this poll.

C for me too - even if it's the just language I use to unwind after a hard day of Object Orientated functions and procedures <-- I really wish I was joking, but that's just this week.
To contrast with the both of you - I'm pretty sure I'm the only person born in the 90s who understands C.

Only because I'm born in 1988.

Same.
I miss the simplicity of just C.
I still do my pseudo code in C.
And i had to stop plucking the grey hairs to avoid baldness (and why is it ONE eyebrow that
is much more grey than the other?)

I had a professor who kept plucking grey hairs to avoid baldness, but it was too late. All the hair he had was grey.

Seriously? Just because it has "C" in its name?
I vote for COBOL then. At least it starts with C.

Not sure what you mean here. Objective C is a super-set of C and therefore more "C-style" than any other language on the list except C itself.

I guess the survey really means "C-style syntax."

I have to agree with Nemanja here!
The Objective-C Compiler will happily compile .c file inside the same project and link to C libs as well as ObjectiveC lib in the same executable. IT can hardly be more C than that!
|
|
|
|
|
I agree in this case. I was just trying to make a general point, as obviously some of the other languages listed are clearly very different from C but use C-syntax.
Kevin

Haha, I have to agree that the syntax looks alien!
Just wanted to defend it!
Use to love it in 1998!

I agree, and my brief experience of Objective C was that it was awful. Swift is much nicer just from no more than a glance at it!

Oh don't mind me, I was just exaggerating because the weird syntax and the weird IDE (== different from what I usually use) had me annoyed a bit.

I'd rather be using something like Rust[^], but as no-one is paying me to do that, C++ it is.
And for the record, C# is pretty much Visual Basic with some curly braces and semicolons randomly sprinkled around

My thoughts, really!

So what is your least disliked C-style language then?
From what I can see from various posts only Rust looks like the most worthy competitor to C++.

Perl?
Probably only because I don't use it any more.

I guess Perl should have been in that list. It would certainly be top of my most disliked.

Sacrilege! Though, yeah, the difference between C# and VB is not actually the language, but the programmer!
