Blanket statements about C being as clear as mud are equally pointless and wrong. I also chose to opt for RB for my project of the last 3 years, partly because it was a modern reference based language - ie unlike C, but that isnt to say that Rb cannot adopt some of the very useful aspects of C like the increment stuff.
I used PowerBuilder for years, which combined the best aspects of Pascal, java and C perfectly well and in a readable fashion. One just has to be sensible about these issues. Pick out the best aspects from each and leave out the worst.
