C is just shorthand for assembly, and assembly,

EVERYTHING else reduces.

Yes, C is just shorthand for assembly.  Whenever I
write C code I can always "see" the assembly instructions
that lie beneath every C statement.

In fact, when it comes to SIMD programming, there are C
functions known as "intrinsics" that allow direct access
to SIMD hardware assembly instruction (e.g. SSE2, AVX).
(These do not exist for any other language.)


Conclusion:

Those who understand the machine use C (assembly) and only
C.

All dumb-fuck idiots and retards, of which there are hordes
in commercial (i.e. paid) programming, MUST use other "crutch"
languages.
