I learnt C on an Amiga. No memory protection at all. Pointer errors would likely need a reboot to recover.

I rebooted a lot.

I also learned C on the Amiga. I loved SAS C. I also came across C++ first on the Amiga when it was just a pre processor for C. I really loved that machine but it was the community that was special
