not true.



Not -necessarily- true. I don’t typically expect my c to compile on the first try at 100 plus lines. Some languages do seem to be either so forgiving that they”work” without complaint or so structured that they guide you away from errors but are less expressive feeling.


fine, but gp did not equivocate.
