A Few quotes from here
"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
Tony (C.A.R.) Hoare
"It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that [sic] have had prior exposure to BASIC; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."
E. W. Dijkstra in "The Threats to Computing Science" .
"A C program is like a fast dance on a newly waxed dance floor by people carrying razors."
Waldi Ravens. Programmer.
"C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. In C++ it's harder, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg."
Bjarne Stroustrup. Creator of C++.
"C++ is an horrible language. Even if the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C."
Linus Torvalds, inventor of Linux.
"The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should therefore be regarded as a criminal offense."
E.W. Dijkstra.
"If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution."
Robert Sewell. Programmer.
"There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses.”
Bjarne Stroustrup.
