3 reasons to learn C in 2018/2019

Here are, in my opinion, 3 reasons to learn C that apply to most programmers. What do you guys think?

Yeah
The thing about programing is this :
The programing languages matter but doesn't matter that much
It is more important to be able to solve problems, that minset can be translated in "any" programing languages ...
Well not any, but most of them .... you get my point
Great short video :)

I love C, it was the first language that I learned deeply, I use it to develop embedded software, and it's the main language I use in my current internship and it's such a flexible, free language, hopefully C never goes away, languages like Rust are starting to replace C in some hardware fields and that kinda concerns me, not because I can't learn rust, maybe I can, but I know Rust is not as flexible as C is. C is a lovely language is so close to the hardware level that you've to know how a computer works to program in C properly and that is very useful.

Ti-am urmarit cateva videoclipuri si am zis: WOAAAUU this guys is really good, he really knows C and more important he knows how to teach students, sincer nu stiu cum, dar cand te-am vazut/auzit pentru prima data am stiut ca esti roman :))) GOOD JOB!

i take few hours a day to learn C. its my passion

[RamonChiNangWong]

I like that reasons, about C doesn't have much feature, you can't BLAME the framework.

I use two languages. C for performance, and Common Lisp for pretty much everything else, and rapid prototyping of ideas that I'll code in C once fully tested.

From my personal experience, C is the most important language that I’ve learned. If you know C, you can program anything. If you can’t directly do it, you can use C to write some program to help you do it. Everyone should learn C, even “developers” who work with Python, PHP or Node.

I decided to learn C because while YouTube video loads the animation resembles the letter C

[JamesSmith-jjde]

C does allow object oriented programming

Will love to watch your tutorials .thank you👏🙌

[csefthomas]

I totally agree with you. Great video, thank you.

[nishantsharma]

hi bro can you help me with some coding questions and concepts doubts?

[gaborm]

What do you mean no idea where the error came from?

[noweare]

If your into embedded systems your probably going to be using C almost all the time. Learning python was fun but it was like skipping steps. One python instruction is a half page of C instructions.

[badwolf]

C wont go away from embedded and os' and compiler because c programmers don't want to upgrade to c++

[bojantanasic]

I just recently started learning c++ the basics aren't hard at all up until you deal with dynamic memory allocation aka memory management. But it's really nice, the syntax is more natural to me. And for the people saying c and c++ are died they are idiots the marrow or backbone to all systems atleast the ones worth using is built upon c, c++ or assembly. C and c++ compile to assembly Atm machines use assembly, slot machines, electronic roulette. Vending machines.Digital Medical devices, processors, graphics cards, drivers and etc. And even in 20 years when the old school prodigy programmers pass their will be a high demand in lower level languages you know why because the lazy Gen Z are only interested in high level programming languages where they can create shiny widgets, gui's and brag about what great app they created. 🙄 phone apps are fucking useless for anything serious. You still cant do anything serious by smudging your thumb or index finger against a 6.1 inch display.

C is a simple language, no, it is a less abstract language that makes knowing the system on which you will be developing necessary instead of relaying on abstracted features, C dosen’t have fields, yes it does, C dosen’t support OOP, struct, Unions and function pointers? You have to manage everything yourself, no you don’t there is this thing called crt0, the c runtime yes c has a runtime, ask yourself when is the last time you wrote a prologue in a HLL. I think people should learn C because it is the backbone of most machines, because it is fast and efficient and that somethings can’t be done in any other language but also because you will have to take advantage of compilers and OS mechanisms, but by that logic then we should all learn assembly. I think that If you are programming in a space which allows for abstraction and a runtime then you should choose c++, anything lower Kernel, firmware, embedded or else C is better anyway both are good in their respective environments learn both, they are two different languages that are worth it and to these days still better than those who claim to replace them. ( Yes Rust included, Long live Ferris da crab ).

PS: A language is different than a compiler implementation, and a language isn’t defined by it’s stdlib in theory but very much is in practice.

Pls can you help me out with fgets in c

[iainuk]

As a coder nearly exclusively in C since the mid 1990’s. I think every coder should learn at least the basics of C. Personally I’m no fanboy of any language, they all have there strong (& weak) points. And Once you have the basics of C
learn the language that most excites your passion.

[anjanbora]

I have seen, nobody gives u a penny for knowing C
