Subject: [TUHS] Comments on "C"

My language of choice is C, and has been for a decade and a half.
I write some really FUGLY C code when I need to get down and dirty, like
in my emulators - though they're not OO by a longshot, they're written as
sort-of modular, one of them has an emulation of a 6847/6883 which is
implemented in clearly marked functions, but the functions are terribly
coded. Comments are sparse, and usually only mark where I needed to
actually think about what I was doing.
I implemented a couple Unix commands as part of a never-finished project -
I wanted to write a userland for a Unix clone, where the utilities could
also run on MS-DOS.
(...something like "Does DOS have the Unix nature?" "Mu!" comes to
mind...)
-uso.
