Of course, with careful data structures and the right choice of libraries, 
C can do all of this, including repairing the ozone layer. It's just a bit 
messier without the language support.

Just out of interest, does anyone use ADA or OCAML? I think there's a 
couple of people here using ObjectiveC too (which I really like but can't 
yet find an excuse to seriously use).

There's a really good p2p program written in OCAML called mldonkey. Quite 
a major accomplishment for a 'non-standard' language.

And then of course there's:

It's a pity that the Cat's Eye Technologies website seems to be no more.
