Let's stop copying C / fuzzy notepad

Ah, C. The best lingua franca we have... because we have no other lingua francas. Linguae franca. Surgeons general? C is fairly old - 44 years, now! - and comes from a time when there were possibly more architectures than programming languages.

I really enjoyed this read! I have two things to add in regards to C#: Variable declaration: C# has 'var' which has the compiler infer the type. It must be resolveable at compile time or it errors. Unicode strings: under the hood, strings are a special case and functionality is wrapped into the String class, but if you enumerate the String, you get char types which are UTF16 (coming up short). I am really enjoying your blog! Thanks for taking the time to distill all this info.
