For someone relatively new to the field of programming, the subject of code comments would cause some definite confusion. That’s because experienced folks in the field can’t seem to agree on the topic. /* ' # REM <!-- something goes here --> */

That seemed a bit familiar, so I checked history here.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In 2016, Yahoo disclosed that more than one billion of about three billion accounts had likely been affected by the hack. In its disclosure Tuesday, the company said all accounts were likely victimized. Yahoo!

That's about half the worlds population. Taking into consideration the actual popularity of Yahoo these days and the people I know that use a yahoo account, I'd say the jokes on the hackers trying to figure out which accounts are actually valid/active/useful. HotMomma34450983405343@yahoo.com better lookout! Don't think you're out of the woods AOL, they're coming for you next!!

Academic researchers have published a study investigating the effect of programming languages on software quality, concluding the issue is hard to quantify but also identifying significant findings, such as functional languages having an edge over procedural/object-oriented languages. "Computer languages of the future will be more concerned with goals and less with procedures specified by the programmer."

[edit]OK, so I took a peek. The conclusion -- we can't conclude anything. There you go, academic research at its finest!  [/edit]

Well, the failure of premature conclusiveness is a part of science, usually the hind-end.
Does it mean anything that F# is not among the languages considered ?

Vibrating mechanical switches that can be cascaded to perform complex computational operations could take computing significantly further than today's technologies. "She's giving me excitations"
You knew I had to use something from that song, didn't you?

I was thinking along the lines of frequencies like 10GHz.

Despite a reputation for fast change some technology choices have stayed remarkably static over the past few decades. In this article we look at the C programming language which is over 40 years old but still remains a core piece of AHL’s and the world’s technology stack. If it works, why add one to it? (or 16Hz)

Metals/Plastics/Aliminium... etc are ways cheaper and more amenable than wood, in my honest personal opinion. However, we still use wood - which is an older material compared to the 3 ones I mentioned above.
Same goes for C...

As usual, it depends on the intended purpose. There are some uses for which wood is still the best material.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Why the surprise about its longevity?
In a world where the vast majority of languages sit somewhere along a scale that runs from "a bit lousy, really" to "completely and utterly lousy", C still stands out as one of those rare gems that can be filed under "not lousy in the slightest".
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

How is 47.28 "more than double" 23.9? In an article about IQ no less.
