It is worth learning C because there is a lot of code written in C.
- bauerd 7y agoVery much this. I would not bother with C if there wasn't this huge pile of fundamental software written in it.
- anaphor 7y agoYou can learn enough C to leverage existing code, and then use the FFI facilities that many languages provide to interface with it. That way you don't have to engineer your entire application with C. I think this is pretty common practice, but maybe some people don't realize how common it is that their, e.g. Python, libraries are leveraging C code.
