Comment on Bog – small, strongly typed, embeddable languageparent

Something I hate about about c is that you don't know where the hell somefunc() came from.

I think you mean something you hate about not using an IDE with the language. One can do `from onoz import *` in python and Java to have a similar "wait, where did do_magic() come from?" experience, and then Scala will see your wildcard import and raise you implicit methods, which can die in a raging fire tornado

Well it's a 'feature' of the language so the criticism still stands. Ides could solve a lot of language warts but we still rightfully criticise the language for the warts. C's lack of memory safety could be solved by good programming practices, but we still criticise c for the lack of memory safety.
