If your a fan of the terminal I recommend writing a terminal program that scratches an itch of yours. Perhaps theres a shell script that runs too slowly? Or something in inscrutable awk that would be better as its own program.
- Waterluvian 10y agoHmmm... Yes I'll have to give it some thought. I use Python for most of my scripting needs. I guess I've never had a need that's required better performance.
- slededit 10y agoEven though it may not make technical sense to choose C, you may want to just use it to learn.
- Waterluvian 10y agoYup. I'm going to make some scripts. Thanks. :)
- majewsky 10y agoThat's exactly why I wrote https://github.com/majewsky/xmpp-bridge https://github.com/majewsky/xmpp-bridge in C. It feels so different to me to program in C than, say, Go or Python. I become so much more mindful of every step that I take.
- debatem1 10y agoPython has an excellent C extension api. I'd suggest taking a C library that does something you want and writing Python bindings for it.
