C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

  1. Don't write in languages with UB.

End of list

Rust made the same mistake that C++ made, otherwise it might've been a viable option. Now instead debugging a memory issue for 3 days, I think a month on how to architect my software, just to scrap that 5 months later and rewrite it from scratch.
