I am. In fact I have recent read more than two dozen books on the
subject of programming language design. The principle of least
astonishment is considered, by most designers, to be something worth
obeying. C rarely does. In fact, there have been many studies of
various programming language features to determine the effect they
have on programmer productivity. There are perhaps a dozen features
which are consistently found to be damaging to productivity. Of course,
C has all of these features.
