You could run C that way... but scScript is a scripting language using C-like syntax with features designed for scripting. For example, it provides dual variadic parameter/arg lists. Turns out having "in" (pass-by-val) and "out" (pass-by-ref) parameters are more pleasant (at least to me) than trying to return N values out of a function (especially since script languages run away from pointers). Perhaps it is a testament to my ignorance, but I am not aware of another language that does this.

The difficulty in designing a language is not so much implementing a compiler, but the iterative process of implementing and fine-tuning a given aesthetic... a given flavor as it were and it has to work well. Of course the other side is testing the damn thing... so my hats off to QA!

Nevertheless, I am sure good tool users could save a lot of time instead of hand implementing everything, as I would. So thumbs up to LLVM.

I wanted to write a love note to C... and if you hate it, it is all my fault.

Capital needs a safe harbor, so there is always demand for treasuries.... But on the other hand, we all know these debts will never get repaid, just traded and rolled over into the next batch of bonds. Government will also do all it can to keep interests low, including the treasury itself buying its own debts and setting them aside. 40 Trillion is hard to conceive... ok, I think in terms of address space anyway :-)
