In C, or not in C, that is the question -- whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the strings and pointers with outrageous caution or to ascend, above that sea of troubles, and by abstracting, end them? To free(), to leak-- no more; and by a leak, to say we break the structure, and the thousand segment faults that memory is heir to? tis' a paradigm devoutly to be wished. To Py, to PHP, to PHP, perchance to Scheme; aye, there's the rub, for in that scheme of death, what bloat may come when we have wound away the program stack must give us pause.
