>> I understand what you give up by using C, i.e., speed, size of executable file … You don't give up that much. C is quite efficient, and compiles into fast code. There are also ways of arraging to trim out much of the "canned code" (I'm referring to c.o and some of the stuff it invokes) if you're familiar with your C compiler's environment. Assembler coding is always faster and more compact .. IF YOU'RE AN EXCELLENT PROGRAMMER. But some optimizing C compilers can put out code that's as compact and efficient as many (not all) programmers would write. –Jim
