Not trying to start another battle here, but it is just a matter to
learn things. I can't write assembler code as fast as I can do it in C,
so, I don't see the point that C is easier.  When I think about a
function in "C", I almost see the same routine in assembler, so why let
somebody else decide how your software will be, if you can do it by
yourself?

Yes, I agree with you, for some people easier than write code in C is
just seat in the beach and ask somebody else to do it.  :) .. for those,
my company doors (and other companies too) will be always closed.

Remember, Cobol writers are making from $100 to $250/hour right now,
just because lots of people just decided that there are easier ways to
do things, without never learn the basics of pure and simple
programming.  I guess that there are a great percentage of high-school
students that can't multiply 25x37 without a calculator, not that it is
necessary, but it is somehow as important as when you make physical
exercises preparing your body for other jobs, as for example, live
better and healthier.
