The whole scripting language issue is a complicated one imo.. People want to either use 100% scripting or 100% system (i.e., C), which is not alright. Combine scripting & system according to your needs. This is why I like Tcl the most: It prevents you from using it where there might be computational bottlenecks (e.g., in algorithms). It is meant to complement C, not replace it. Anyway this is a separate thread.

foreach line [read stdin] { foreach word [split $line] { if [string match *ing $word] { puts $word } } }

"Get a `blog'" haha this is so freaking hilarious and irritating at the same time .. clueless people that have only recently started using computers.

IT today is all about a bunch of business morons abusing the poor text-based HTTP protocol, reinventing user interfaces rendered through an overloaded browser process. An enormous number of levels of abstraction just to display a single facebook button.

They insist on pushing it even further .. every single f day .. polluting the field with buzzwords, overaplying relational databases where they are actually completely useless! It's all about making simple things look complex, as more and more clueless people get involved in the IT "business".

Thank god we still have OpenBSD and Plan9 and the old phrack articles around.

PS: address space randomization is a lame-ass countermeasure.
