High Level Programming Languages

When is it appropriate to use a high level programming language? Personally, I always feel guilty when using anything except C.

You're the one actually not saying anything here pal. By being sarcastic and rude you illustrate your own allegation ``this argument doesn't count because I say so''.

Rhetorically I state, about other languages, it is often true that they are bootstrapped in C or implement features in C. Such as GMP for bignum. Many languages are also directly translated to C. This is because the creators (as opposed to the fanboys) probably found C useful in this.

I am merely pointing out the nonsense in saying C is crap despite the fact that most of what you people idealize is implemented with it.

I also say it's the compilers purpose to efficiently interface the CPU. Do you deny this? Why are there different compilers for different architectures?

I'm not saying any language is worse or better actually - YOU ARE - but yeah sure, I like C. I don't dislike any particular language. I acknowledge that application programming languages are more proper to many tasks, but you people who is constantly bashing C in favor of your 1%-language need some serious help with reality.

I think C is a good language exactly because it is not low-level, while it is also not high-level. So there you are right in your clowing around ;).

Last but not least, the best language is the one you're actually productive in and works for you.
