We used C99 in some of my classes at college, despite attending University from 2010~2017. I liked C a lot - working that 'close' to the hardware and the OS really gives you an appreciation for how things work. These days I've moved on to things like Ruby, Python, and Go...but I'd like to give it another try with C18 to see what modern C looks like.

C has changed little compared to languages such as C++. There’s a couple of nice additions, but it’s not a completely new language.

  This might be an indication of the language being close to perfect as it is.

    Well, it has a goal in mind, certainly. I’m not sure I would call that goal perfect.

    Or, more likely, that the action has moved elsewhere. There are lots of small towns still emptying out. The people who remain are more likely to say they like them.
