  I was not talking about Haskell vs. the world in my comment quoted
above. I was talking about you trying to do it in *C* and having your
program crash, after all the trouble I have gone in the past to try to
teach you safe programming practices in C++, as a better alternative to C.

  I got exasperated because I thought that maybe, just maybe you had
learned something about the C/C++ family of languages, and perhaps learned
to make working programs in C++ with less effort (than in C, that is).
But no. When you want to try something with something else than Haskell,
you go once again back to C and have your program crash on you. It feels
like all my teaching efforts went completely to waste.
