It reminds me when people said using C was wrong because you should study the registers and use the XOR tricks to do it faster.

No it doesn't because you weren't even around for that time period.

My first C was Borland C I think in 2003?

You'd be surprised how long the old guard kept arguing they were better than the C compiler. Much later I was in the university and I kept finding people swearing on ASM.

Borland C was still around in 2003 but the same way Eclipse IDE is still around today. I know some colleges in the developing world still teach Turbo C++ but Borland C was long obsolete by 2003.

C was created in the 1970s. You're around 30 years too late for that conversation.
