Quite frankly I wouldn't recommend learning C these days except for maintaining, there are better languages e.g Rust, Go, Zig, Swift. And the Eu and US are cracking down on unsafe Code including open source.
learn C, so you can appreciate rust
A-ha, better languages my ass. They may make some specific job easier, but calling them good just because of that - nuh-uh. I would (and actually will) rather spend time learning to properly use C or C++
I call them better because C leave security holes in everything it touches.
So, not the programmers do this, lol?
Doesn't matter, the Eu and US and others will make it irrelevant before anyone new has a chance to learn it.
I like your optimism (really mean this)
And good luck to them (sarcasm)
Agreed, I only found one of these with the C book in it. I think it would make much more sense with the Rust book.
