they don't play any role, as the C language was defined decades ago. I learned it
before the ansi committee came to an end by Turbo C and soon later MS C, and then
various *NIX compilers. Recently I written a couple of linux programs using gcc
with exactly the same syntax I studied 30 years ago, and it works pretty cool. All
these programs are error free performing very fast while having a small memory
footprint. For me there is nothing better than C, and I know a lot of languages.
