Gotta say I’m really digging the C programming language at this point.
Years ago I was initially kinda put off by C since I figured it had to be a pretty difficult language to learn. But I never actually looked into it. I just kinda went with the meme that all C was good for was programming operating systems and figured it wasn’t really applicable to my use case. As I developed in my career and studies I began to realize just how wrong I was. As a Linux user I’ve come to appreciate C and how familiar it feels. I love the little things about it and it’s conventions like how defining constants are in all caps kinda like environment variables in Linux are all caps. The portability of my programs across my VMs is another added bonus and I love that I can compile them with ease using GCC. I really do feel like C isn’t given enough love and I’m looking forward to contributing to the free and open source software community. source
