Not too long ago the "ATS" programming language was removed from the Computer Language
Benchmarks Game. You can still view the old pages via the way back machine.
Why is the ATS programming language no longer included in the Computer Language Benchmarks Game?

According to this post by the maintainer:
Unfortunately, there was no effective way to make sure that contributed ATS programs were comparable to the other programs that had been contributed. There are not enough ATS experts.

At my university, my CS1 teacher has advised us to not use for(int i = 0; [code]; i++), because declaring a variable in line with a for loop will not compile on C versions prior to C99. As a computer science major, is there any legitimate reason for this? As it was standardized nearly two decades ago, I would think any still supported / developed software would have no trouble implementing this.
From my browsing it appears that extremely low level hardware development such as the Linux kernel may use a C90-ish codebase but that seems to be a very fringe case.

Complex numbers don't seem to me that widely used. But still C99 introduces not one, but two keywords about them (_Complex and _Imaginary). To me it seems that those belong in a library, and possibly not even the standard library.
Why are complex numbers so important to the standardization committee of the C language? More important than pixels, 3D points, files, time.

I am new to C and I would like to know if it is possible to make colorful console menus with simple graphics, like old DOS programs used to look. I am programming on Windows PC and portability is not important for this one.
Take a look at PDCurses which is a dos/windows curses implementation (curses does all the console richness in unix/linux environments).

I didn't know where to post this so i came here. Anyway I'm wondering is it worth even targeting Symbian phones? Especially since nokia don't even want anything to do with it anymore.
Do symbian phones get the latest updates for chrome and firefox mobile?
There are still lots of old phones areond, but almost no new phones are sold. If you know Symbian then you can develop on it for existing customers, but there is no point starting to learn the language
