Labelling the crab as C is sure to ruffle some exoskeletons..

I mean, at the end of the day, if you really understand your language of choice, you know that it is jusf a bunch of fancy libraries and compiler tricks of top of C. So in my mind, I'm a fully evolved programmer in a language, when I could write anything I can write in that language in C instead.

Or, rather, most compiled languages are just syntactic sugar on top of assembly, and that's especially true with C. (Oh, you can use curly brances and stuff for blocks? That's sure easier to read than the label mess you get with assembly.)

Assembly is a little too high level for me. I prefer to directly write machine code.

You may as well be a script kiddie. I leverage my very steady hand and highly magnetized needle to write my code
