"C is a simple language. This is fact I agree with and appreciate. It is the reason for C's endurance. If someone posts a patch or submits a PR to a codebase written in C, it is easier to review than any other mainstream language. There is no spooky at a distance."

@jbz I have a hard time taking an argument that insists that C is a "simple" language and doesn't acknowledge the existence of undefined behavior too seriously.

@jbz I swore to myself never to indulge in these kinds of discussions, but I personally don't really agree with the author's sentiment that Haskell's syntax is complex and intimidating. Is it because of whitespace based blocks?
