FORTRAN was developed by engineers, ALGOL by mathematicians. C is also developed by engineers (I rest my case: no offence to engineers!!). I differ a little with those advocates of C++ as implementation of OOP. If you compare it with the implementation in PASCAL (look at Linux fpc) you'll see that the implementation is much cleaner and better implemented. But it is as with Windows: if the basic concept isn't sound ( and that goes for C) than everything you build on that is flawed as well. I hope I haven't insulted many people but it is my opinion ( and I started programming with ALGOL in 1963).
